Allegedly he was told that he could not ride his bicycle through the main gate (something he always had done up to that evening). He said that that under his breath he muttered "how fucking annoying" but was unsure whether it was loud enough to be heard but accepts that this is what he said and that on reflection he should not have said it. There is some doubt whether the police officer even heard this judging from the cctv footage which showed nothing more than Mitchell riding to the main gate, dismounting and walking alongside a police officer to the side gate pushing his bicycle.
No hint of aggression, arguing or confrontation could be seen from the cctv footage yet it was an aggressive, foul mouthed confrontation that was alleged.
So even you are unsure TH? The word I have highlighted shows that nobody seems to know either the truth or the lies that have been told by either party in this sorry tale.
He was unsure? Th he knew what he said in my opinion, and he said it loud enough to piss the Police officer off. I shall see what else comes out in any criminal proceedings in this matter, if it actually ever comes to court. He did swear at a police officer and maybe had he just kept his mouth shut none of this would have gone any further?
Why don't you watch the programme instead of making things up.
I said allegedly - because I was re-iterating what i saw on TV
He (Mitchell) was unsure if it had been heard.
Watch the programme and decide for yourself from what you see and hear if you think that there was any confrontation, swearing or aggression from anyone. For a nuetral observer it was a very disturbing programme.
I did watch it TH and cannot make my mind up. The worrying thing for me is why a Police officer would make anything up at all, and why a serving Minister would then deny saying anything and then change his mind to he did, but muttered it under his breath.
To be honest I care not whether he said it or not, but am worried that a Police officer could lie about it....allegedly.
A - as in singular? One?
An off duty officer who made up the "leak" has been suspended on suspicion of multiple counts of lying.
An officer on duty has now also been suspended and is being investigated about what she has "leaked."
The Police Federation Spokesperrson has been suspended and is under investigation for lying about what was said in a meeting with Mitchell.
One other officer is also suspended on suspicion of leaking false information to the media.
Rolls eyes indeed.
