Andrew Mitchell, the Tory MP and former cabinet minister at the centre of the Plebgate row lost his high court libel trial today in a ruling which sees him facing a legal bill of millions of pounds and leaves his political career in tatters.
Outside the court, Mitchell told reporters he was bitterly disappointed with the ruling and that it had been “a miserable two years” for him, but that he now hoped to move on with his life.
Well, Mr Mitchell, I expect it has been a ‘miserable two years’ for PC Toby Rowland, who was only doing his job when you attacked him with a tirade of verbal abuse.
Mr Justice Mitting described the MP’s behaviour as “childish” and found his version of events was inconsistent with the CCTV recording from that evening.
How wonderful to see another Tory grandee given his comeuppance by a High Court judge and to see PC Toby Rowland exonerated.
I know who’s story I believe.....
