[quote]Andrew Mitchell has quit as government chief whip after weeks of pressure over an argument with police officers in Downing Street. The Tory MP has admitted swearing at officers in the incident but again denied calling police "plebs". He told David Cameron - who has stood by him - that "damaging publicity" meant he could no longer do his job. Former Commons leader Sir George Young will be the new chief whip, Downing Street said. Mr Mitchell's resignation is a victory for the Police Federation and Labour who have led calls for him to go. But it spells the end of a 25-year political career for the Sutton Coldfield MP, who was promoted from international development secretary to chief whip in September's cabinet reshuffle. BBC Political Editor Nick Robinson said Mr Mitchell told the prime minister about his decision in person, at Mr Cameron's country residence Chequers. The prime minister has accepted his resignation.[/quote] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19922026[/url]
RIP
Not sure why he's resigning over it... the shitstorm over that died down weeks ago, all he needed to do was to wait for the government to make another inevitable fuck-up and everyone'll forget. There's probably some ulterior motive there.

I Google image searched "pleb" and only got pictures of Andrew Mitchell.

Ironic how a politician wants to be seen as a blue collar, common man but not a pleb because that's actually what pleb means.
lol does he even lift?
