It not quite Watergate is it? It doesn't even go to court, bit like a motoring offence.
I wonder how many other people also breached the letter of the law while keeping the spirit of it? Wonder how they would feel if they now received a penalty notice.

There is a difference between making a mistake and getting done for it and making a mistake and repeatedly covering up, misdirecting and basically lying about it. I think if Boris Johnson
et al put their hands up after the first breaking of the story, the public might be much more forgiving. It's the continuous dishonesty alongside the original crimes that gives the appearance of a fundamental lack of respect for all of us who did what we were asked.
Or, to channel my South London upbringing - Boris Johnson thinks we are just a bunch of mugs and thinks he is better than us. He appears to have no respect for those that he serves. It's almost sociopathic...
