And that is not a crime.
If we invent stuff as we are going along here - So we can go after George Osborne, for lying saying there would be thousands of job losses right after a leave result, prosecute David Cameron for lying saying he would be around to enact the referendum result...
As already mentioned, Tony Blair for the Iraq War and WMD lie.... They were all in high office.
This list is endless, this is just a hit job on Boris because he is the scapegoat for the many pathetic Remainers who cannot accept the result that people in the UK do actually want to leave the corrupted EU.

Holding those in a position of power and/or responsibility accountable for actions should be seen as a good thing. it sets the expectation of the standards that are required.
NOT holding them accountable is more akin to the North Korea which you keep referring too.

Absolute one sided rubbish and you know it. Why don't we go after people who lied in the Remain camps who probably swayed people to vote Remain, like all the lies of project fear ?
Oh Remain lost, this is why so it doesn't matter to you. Gimme a break FFS.
