Judge Satisfied Mitchell Did Call Cops 'Plebs' A high court judge has said he is satisifed former chief whip Andrew Mitchell called police officers "plebs." Mr Justice Mitting said he was satisfied the Tory MP did lose his temper, as he ruled in case over whether the politician used the term during an altercation at the main gates of Downing Street in September 2012. The judge said events on that day "do not reflect well on Mr Mitchell," and found his account to be "inconsistent." Mr Mitchell sued News UK - the newspaper group which owns the Sun that first published the remarks. The police officer involved, PC Toby Rowland, in turn took action against Mr Mitchell for accusing him of giving a dishonest account.

You don't run this ****ing government.. You're ****ing plebs. Mr Mitchell had denied this. In his account he said: "I thought you lot were supposed to **** ing help us." But the judge said PC Rowland was "not the sort of man who would have had the wit, imagination or inclination to invent on the spur of the moment an account of what a senior politician had said to him in temper." And he said inconsistencies in the officer's account did not demonstrate that it was fabricated.

He also rejected the allegation there was collusion by the officers on the gate that night.
