Innocent from what we know is not the same as wait for the report.
And on that point, the fact that Sue Gray had to refer the report to the Metropolitan Police suggests something far removed from your overly optimistic speculation. If she had found nothing untoward, the Metropolitan Police would not be investigating. That's not speculation, that's based upon her terms of reference.

Let me try and explain it for the hard of understanding…
If he did nothing, it would have not happened, and nothing would have changed from the original situation.
He did something (authorised it), it happened - intervention.

How about innocent until proven guilty? A cornerstone of the British judicial system.
Are the Met investigating the parties or Johnson?

I think your patience here far exceeds the usual reasonable adjustments required by law.

Well, that’s much more ‘enlightened’ than making your mind up that he was guilty on the basis of allegations only. I am prepared to concede that the report and/or the police investigation may confirm the views you have. I am not being dogmatic as some of you guys are.
I don’t accept your conclusion in the last paragraph. Clearly, she found something for the police to take into account or investigate. That on its own doesn’t making him guilty either.

I agree with the "innocent until proven guilty", but we are allowed opinions, and my opinion that Johnson is lying is based on the facts we know - he’s a proven liar (been fired a couple of times for lying), he is consistently dishonest (cheating on his wife multiple times, and on his current wife when they were not yet married), he has repeatedly failed to declare interests in the Members’ Register, there were the pictures of them in the garden eating cheese & wine during the lockdown, his admission that he was in a room with around 30 others who had gathered to sing "happy birthday" and eat cake and M&S snacks at a time when this wasn’t allowed, and many other examples.
When it walks like a lying duck, and sounds like a lying duck, it’s usually a lying duck…

Yup, like a bad children's party, the clown's refusing to leave although the jokes have worn thin.
