Was there a recommendation to send him to Devils Island. The last time we see him is head shaved in prison garb. Then all evidence of his existence is removed from the internet, TV, radio, printed word and our minds?
Somewhere between harsh and fair.

A public evisceration of a PM by his peers. Amazing really. No idea if it is harsh or not, but they have clearly done all they can to get rid of the clown and keep him out.

Did it recommend he be tarred and feathered in the middle of Trafalgar Square?

An ex-PM. It is a reminder that -- however difficult it is to understand the UK's constitutional arrangements are -- we live in a parliamentary democracy and, of those two terms, it's the latter that's more questionable.
It's all so unimportant and irrelevant right now. Leave the bloke alone. The only important thing is to get this enquiry finished so that we don't make the same stupid mistakes again - for example lockdowns, face masks, social distancing.

Yeah, poor 'Boris'. Maybe we should start a GoFundMe to help him with yet another holiday to make him feel a bit better about the nasty people saying horrible things about him, when all he was doing was forgetting the rules of a global pandemic that he and his government had created and put in place. An easy mistake to make – we've all been there.
Still, it's Fathers' Day on Sunday, so at least he can look forward to a bumper crop of presents from his 23 offspring.

You do realise that what we are talking about is the Privileges Committee enquiry, an independent enquiry set up by Parliament to see whether Johnson repeatedly lied in Parliament, the majority of whose members were conservatives and who's chair Harriet Harman never got to vote as they decided on the result unanimously, so the chair had no vote, despite the lies stating otherwise from Johnson. (The lies about the committee report, as oppose to the lies about the lies that he told to Parliament, specifically about lying about parties).
What you are talking about is the Covid enquiry, a separate independent enquiry set up to investigate the Government's management and handling of the Covid epidemic. This enquiry is the one the Government is refusing to release information to, and is now threatening to take to court despite it having set up the enquiry in the first place. That one will decide if any of the Government lied or did anything illegal, immoral, ignored scientific advice, set up illegal fast track programs etc during the Covid pandemic, it's not just limited to specific lies Johnson told in Parliament. As you can imagine that is a far bigger and wide reaching enquiry than the one that just reported.
Hope this helps as, not for the first time, you seem to be getting confused by Johnson's lies and I'm sure he wouldn't want that

Leave the bloke alone? He was all about "waiting for the outcome of the inquiry" when it suited him to dodge questions about whatever he was in hot water over. Now we have the outcome of an inquiry into his conduct and we should just leave him alone? OK mate.
Some of his own supporters have suggested parading him up and down the country so he can be put in the stocks. I think they were being sarcastic but I happen to think it's a brilliant idea. Great therapy for everyone he has f***ed over.

Apparently the original punishment was going to be a 10 day suspension but after his outburst when resigning they were so pissed off with his response they upped it to 90 days. This was mentioned on the BBC this morning.

Btw, How was he able to get hold of the report a week early and thus being able to weasel his way out by resigning?

Let's not leave the "bloke" alone
I could substitute a few words for the italics
My view is he is a piece of scum who has fecked my country and my grandkids opportunities, Covid is a sideshow to what we will all suffer now and in the future.
And he will continue to have a load of thick accolytes who are either stupid or bastards - there is no middle ground.
So if I saw the "bloke" jogging in my town.......
I probably wouldn't leave him alone
This stocks idea might just have legs

To give him time to put together a mature, measured, sensible, factual and detailed response, I should imagine
