I use the word pleb quite a lot.....lololol but i also use philistine ;-)

Merlin How dare you call someone a prat who you have elected to high office to run your life. If you are not a prat yourself, why don't you stand for office.

I would then vote for you :-D

Sounds like a vacancy for you might appear in Sutton Coldfield.

In my Opinion, He,s a Complete and utter Prat,albiet a rich one,but still a prat. How dare he have the impertinence to insult some one who is there to guard him and other MPs. and keep them safe.Time he was sacked (And a few others with him).**M**. :-S

"Terrible, terrible man" has now been removed from Wikipedia. But it was deinitley there - promise :-D :-D

Cut and pasted this quickly from Wikipedia:

"Andrew John Bower Mitchell (born 23 March 1956) is a terrible, terrible man Conservative Party politician and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sutton Coldfield and the Government Chief Whip"

Wonder who has the b*lls to alter hsi Wikipedia entry like that - I spilt my coffee and knocked my warm bowl of Radox water over when I saw it.

Yes, despite my thinking otherwise, he does have a father. He is:

"Sir David Bower Mitchell (born 20 June 1928) is a British Conservative politician who served as a Member of Parliament for over 30 years."

Neither could claim the priviledge of being plebs, could they. When 99% of the population are plebs (including most police) why are so few of our MPs from all sides from this popular group in society. Lloyd George, Ted Heath, Maggie and John Major are only Prime Ministers I can think of in 20th or 21st century from plebieian roots. Even my favourite Clem was not from a pleb background.

If his parents are alive, I bet they're wondering where their thousands of pounds in private education went :-S :-S :-S

Free on Line. Plebeian Of or relating to the common people of ancient Rome: a plebeian magistrate. 2. Of, belonging to, or characteristic of commoners.

I am proud to be a plebeian, and suspect Andrew Mitchell does not share my proud heritage. Jealousy is a terrible thing.

Policeman would probably not have felt in the least offended at being called a pleb. Probably more upset having Andy's bicycle wheel rammed into his privates :-D

Should be shot at dawn. Ignaramous.

Julia in Derbyshire

exactly - jobs for the boys - the ones who went to Oxford and Cambridge and have parents who are mega rich

In answer to John Questions how on earth did he get in this Government.....he is a millionaire :-D

so, a policeman or woman is a common vulgar person!! I don't think so - the boot is on the other foot seems to me

He should go - toute suite

World English Dictionary
pleb (pl?b)

— n
1. short for plebeian
2. informal , derogatory often ( Brit ) a common vulgar person

he wants sacking ;-)

That Andrew Mitchell seems very arrogant. How on earth did he get to be a member of this UK government? Thought politicians had to talk nicely to plebeians - or is that only when they want our vote? :-S :-S

pleb 978 up, 479 down
1)one who's inferior intelligence results in them making a complete titface out of themselves in public

2)one who has had their brain replaced with a small cucumber whilst visiting the doctor for a routine check up

shoot 'im Mr Mainwaring!!!!

I think the PM was actually very jolly cross when interviewed.......what a pleb :-D

If this is what the chief whip thinks of the police doing their duty, makes you wonder what he, and the rest of his schoolboy chums in Government think about the rest of us!!
