Well after all the
months of the bile driven foment of Her Majesties media we finally have a decision
CPS
“Taking it all into
account, including the accounts of the officer at the gate of Downing Street
and that of Andrew Mitchell MP before, during and after the incident, we have
found that there is insufficient evidence to show that the officer at the gate
lied in his account," she said.
"The CPS has
also found that there is insufficient evidence to show that Mr Mitchell was the
victim of a conspiracy of misinformation."
Interestingly CPS
also mentioned
Following the row,
the Daily Telegraph published what it called a police log of the incident - but
a Channel 4 investigation appeared to cast doubt on the officers' account when
it revealed CCTV footage showed there was not a large group of tourists outside
the main gate at the time as had originally been claimed.
However the CPS statement
on Tuesday said the programme "showed edited footage that was less than
clear in a number of regards".
Well I never… the
media… putting a spin on something?
I recall papers
quoting an alleged ‘whistleblower’ on the whole affair.
Ms Saunders apparently
has said the details of said whistleblower had been requested from Mr Mitchell and
fellow politician David Davis but both had declined to assist the police in
naming them’
Protecting a source?…..or
did they actually exist?
Mr Mitchell is upset
at the result ….
Anyway
One to be charged
and a number for discipline proceedings…
I am sure the media
will allow due process to take its course and not unduly comment in the interim……HA!
Notice the dry
journalistic observance as fellow hacks are being tried currently?
