Patrick Mercer - The right decision, but a shame

I have read through the many comments today about Patrick Mercer's resignation and I cannot help feeling that his experience as an ex-Army Officer will be missed from the front bench, but that the decision to ask him to resign was absolutely the right one.

I just cannot see how anyone can stand up and suggest that the sort of racist language he described was acceptable.
