Who Cares About Andrew Mitchell’s Boorishness? – Spectator Blogs

I’ve avoided commenting on Andrew Mitchell’s problems with police officers and gates because, damn it, the whole affair has been saturated in so much stupidity that it scarcely seemed to warrant further examination. But James Kirkup has pushed me over the edge. He asks if David Cameron “trusts the word of the police who guard his house”. Break. Give. Me. A.

Never fear, however, because the indomitable lobby is on the scent and determined to pursue the Prime Minister on this, even to the ends of the earth itself:

Sadly, I can’t tell you the answer, because the PM’s not saying; ministers are also being told by No 10 not to answer questions on all this. You can be assured that I and other journalists travelling with Mr Cameron this week will be using all our winsome charms to get him to open up on the issue.

Watch this space.
