So what...!!!! Nobody cares it's a minor matter between two adults NOT an International news event tying up half the worlds media when there are other more important news stories not being covered or disclosed to the Public.

What is it with our Society with these political non stories, I mean should a Man an M.P a Minister a man who clearly has something to offer , resign from his post because he called a policeman a pleb ??? Seriously c'mon folks our society is going down the toilet and we are devoting precious time energy and resources on this nonsense..!!!

Seems like I got this wrong, thought common sense would prevail and this would blow over after the apologies. But now it looks like the Minister in question has resigned over this. He was almost certainly pushed and I wonder what was used as leverage in this case. Perhaps he was promised a way back in after the next re-shuffle. Still think its odd that he actually resigned over this.

Its the fact he lied about it that killed him if he had been honest and apoligised he would have been fine but thats not natural to a tory.
