The government have been pivotal in ensuring that the country have NO faith in the police, and it's rather hypocritical of a government who the public have no faith in to ask that in all fairness.
As you mention expenses lets run with that, have we really had a full an frank explanation as to the implamentations to restrict further abuses?
Similarly with lobbying,the dubious business practices and alliances with despots.
That's not even taking into account Cameron and Brooks, Patton and the BBC and the obvious bias of the Mail run by a fascist.

No, not this journalist. A completely different journalist. Oborne has no relationship with Mitchell, originally sympathised with the police in this case, and even now doesn't care that much about Mitchell.

It's a shame that a lot of genuine police officers might now not be trusted but the responsibility for that lies with those members of the police who brought the force into disrepute. We might not know for certain what Mitchell said but we can go on the findings and research of an independent body as well as evidence that was uncovered by C4, and it doesn't reflect well on the police at all. Not that this is just about Mitchell, as the article also says there's been so many cases of questionable action by the police that in reality they were lacking a lot of peoples trust anyway
