Rejected petition Andrew Mitchell or The Police are lying - this cannot be the case and must be investigated.

More details

Andrew Mitchell claims not to have said what two policemen claim he has said. So either he or the police are lying. Neither of these options are acceptable in any way so this matter must be opened up and looked at.

How can we as citizens feel confident in either the government or the police until we know the facts? Once the facts are known and we see the relevant action taken then we can hopefully have a little more confidence.
