Trying to exlain it to non cops is like nailing jelly to a wall but I mean no offence in saying that.
I'm all ears for your explanation on that one.

Politicians should lead by example though. Security gates at Downing Street don't get opened for a minor cabinet minister on a push bike. The cop was absolutely right to refuse.
None taken, I could never understand being a class traitor and being used as a fist of the ruling classes to quell the poor by people who treat you as described in the OP.
"please sir, can I have some more"
It has always confused me why "pleb" is used as a term of denigration. It originally meant a middle class person. Now it seems to be synonymous with "ignorant commoner". When did that happen?

The ruling class have amassed power, to maintain that power they need a Police force to quell insubordination from the public and one that will turn a blind eye to their breaking of the law when they can, or simply not punish them when they are forced to.
Just look at the expense scandal from the MP's, claiming 10's of thousands of pounds worth of tax payers money fraudulently, 0 jail time and not even fired, vs that same crime committed by someone who claims to live alone when she really lives with her partner in a council house, for the same value of tax payers money, 4 years in jail for benefits fraud.
So minor he only lives at No.9 Downing Street
Violent revolution, fight back against your task masters.

Frowned upon I'm afraid.
if a copper cries like a little baby I'm not sure he should be left in charge of guarding Downing Str - grow some!
The DPG officer has more balls than you think. It takes far more courage to stand up for yourself and challenge obnoxious/irrational behaviour rather than ignore it and carry on. Even more so considering a senior politician was involved. If he speaks to an armed police officer who's guarding one of the most important gates in London like that, imagine what he's like with other people?
ignoring it and carrying on is precisely what this policeman should have done
we expect members of the police and armed forces to have a thick skin, be unflappable and perform their duties with a some dignity
creating an incident in this way is insulting to those hard working, loyal and self sacrificing men and women who have suffered a lot more than hurt feelings like this pleb
You're not suggesting political back peddling and opportunism are you .....
It's not just the Police, its all the poors and working class.
I dislike the Tories and dislike the police, so this is win win.
