I don't understand why people are so keen to defend politicians. These people aren't your mates and you have more in common with other ordinary citizens than you do Boris Johnson. If he is behaving badly in office it's a negative to the country and therefore you.

Judge with prejudice and that's what you'll get in return.
But Chris will be able to explain it far better than I.
But...Boris eh? What a character! I bet he's a right laugh! He's just a harmless bumbling idiot, and he loves a pint!
There's no way on earth it's all a front to hide a lying, self-centred, manipulative, Machiavellian narcissistic personality that cannot be trusted, right?
Well put.

Wallpapers all very good until it comes to getting the blasted stuff off. Took me 10 years to finally remove it all from my mansion and paint.
Has Boris considered this?

Couldn't agree more, I'd never use wallpaper again.
Did this type of heads-in-the-trough sleaze and lying to the Speaker happen in governments like Blair's and Thatcher's and just passed me by?
It seems quite overwhelming to me at the moment but am I just especially aware of it more as we have the Internet?
I think you just go looking for it more Andrew, simply because Boris commited the outrageous act of 'getting brexit done' . . . which has set you off on a crusade.
Let it go mate, relax a little, eat some Norwegian fish or something

And it's quite sad that you appear willing to overlook potential breaches of the law on political funding, the Ministerial Code, and Members Interest Register, because he got "Brexit done".
He still hasn't clarified who paid for his £15k holiday in Mustique yet...

The PM recorded the holiday in the register of MPs’ interests last year, stating the break came courtesy of Carphone Warehouse founder David Ross, who owns a holiday villa on the island.
A spokesman for Mr Ross, a long-time Tory donor, initially told the Mail that the tycoon had not paid for the trip, describing the claim as a ‘mistake’. They later backtracked, saying Mr Ross had ‘facilitated’ the holiday in December 2019.

Well there was the expenses scandal which was rife during the Blair government - pretty sleazy as far as I'm concerned. The Westland affair may not have been particularly sleazy but it showed some of the Thatcher government in a different light.
Have a read about John Poulson, he seemed up to his neck in good old cross-party sleaze in the 1950's & 60's.
So I think it's been going on for years in one form or another, it just easier and quicker to get revenge these days.
