The other possibility is that he did understand the rules and didn't care and tried to cover it up. That would suggest that the rules are for us and not for him which is incredibly arrogant.

Boris Johnson is either not competent to lead the country or hold such disrespect for the public and Parliament that he shouldn't lead. This has nothing to do with Brexit, COVID or anything else, it's about the person we trust to lead the country. If they are not fit to lead, they should go.
