SIR – It does seem that Andrew Mitchell deserves an apology from all those involved in the ‘Plebgate’ nonsense and the people involved should have their knuckles rapped. That includes the chief constables who understandably tried to protect their colleagues.

But Mr Mitchell lost his job and part of his salary for using the F-word, which most of us use when angry.

I think Mr Cameron should re-instate him and draw a line under this saga.

To carry it on won’t do anyone any good.
