Will Andrew Mitchell have the balls to sue the police for lying?

After all if what they are saying is untrue Mitchell should be entitled to compensation both from the police and the newspapers for damaging his reputation - what if this has derailed his career?

''Just.............follow the money.''

Since we're talking about annoying Tories - What use is a supposedly elite education that would cost over £370,000 these days when you don't even know what Magna Carta means or who wrote Rule Britannia? www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news ... ow-1346365 My comprehensive education taught me these things, just what were they actually studying at Eton?

I know, how has he even got into his position without knowing those irrelevant pieces of trivia?

He got into his position through being born into a very rich family who could send him to incredibly expensive private schools and used connections made through their wealth to get him internships and jobs.

But is a basic grasp of Latin and knowing who wrote a song 260 years ago essential in a prime minister or is it irrelevant?

Considering that he is head of a government that continues to support a UK citizenship test for immigrants that consists of similar questions then surely it is relevant.

Probably not, but then that wasn't what happened or what has been said on this thread. I said its a bit worrying that a £370,000 "elite" education doesn't teach such basics that I was taught at state school.
It's also nothing to do with a basic grasp of Latin, it's to do with not knowing a basic fact regarding an incredibly important foundation of our democracy. Considering he is the head of our democracy that is a tad worrying. Also, as pointed out they are questions from a citizenship test his government require those nasty foreigners have to pass before they can be considered "one of us".

One has to question quite why Cameron was on the show in the first place.

Because Boris was on not that long ago...

Well quite. But at least Boris can be self deprecating and funny at times. Cameron just comes across as a pompous wealthy Brit.

The Americans I saw interviewed afterwards said they thought he came across well. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19739486 "Intelligent", "Well spoken", "Sharp", "Bright", "Fabulous"

I bet if he had of known all his latin he would have been derided for being a snob who went to a posh school and is out of touch with the general population because he knows latin.

You don't need to be able to transcribe a page of Latin verse to know what Magna Carta means, you just need a smattering of Secondary School History and to have read through some of the questions and tutorials for the application to be a British citizen, its a good job that he already has a British passport because he might not get one if he had to sit an exam.
