The Tory MP at the centre of Plebgate has had to pay out £80,000 in damages to the policeman he called a Pleb.
Andrew Mitchell, the former Chief-Whip, allegedly called a police officer a pleb when he refused to open the main gates to Downing Street, so the politician had to take his push-bike through a side gate. A judge has now ruled that Mitchell probably did use the P word, something he has strenuously denied, and has been made to pay the officer in question.

Balls Radio is like talk radio, but for thinking people. Now a short daily occurrence, Phil Dobbie offers his opinions on what's happening, in the UK and overseas: politics, social policy, economics, science, religion. Yes, it's another, slightly overweight middle-aged white man telling the world how it should be. But there's nothing alt-right about Balls Radio. And we try and have fun along the way.
