Why do you hope for that? Why should he be rewarded in any fashion whatsoever?

Presumably in the hope he gets some form of STI
I'm stuck between "Fair" and "Lenient". The thing is, irrespective of whether it's Johnson or anyone else. lying to Parliament should a) be punished and b) result in a punishment that's a genuine disincentive to others.
Johnson isn't the only liar in the Government, he's just the headline act on which to pin the punishment because he's also the one who led the move to serial political disinformation and dishonesty during this period (I know that dishonesty and politicians is older than just the Johnson-era of politics, but Johnson led the move into Trumpism-style scorched earth lies).
Unfortunate as it may be for him, he will be made an example to set the standard again for others

It goes 2 ways really. Yes - leave him alone. Also he needs to leave us alone as well. Just disappear off and not darken our door again.

Lying to Parliament, lying to the public, lying to an enquiry, bullying and abusing committee members, lying to the monarchy.
Irrelevant? Unimportant?
I don’t agree.
I'd have hung him for treason years ago.

What do people actually think they mean when they say “the government got vaccines rolled out quickly”?
We have Oxford Uni boffins to thank for the actual vaccine.
Amazon Web Services and the NHS developed the National Booking Service.
And the existing MESH network was used to link everything together.
That’s a very simplified version. See here for the full story;
digital.nhs.uk
Now, what was Boris Johnson doing while the NHS were getting all this up and running?
He was accusing the NHS of dragging it’s feet and was bullying them to rush it through so he could claim a victory.
In summary, it’s down to our world leading NHS staff, frontline and back of house that the vaccine was rolled out so quickly.
Nothing to do with Boris. He stood on the sidelines berating them for letting “bureaucracy and lack of information sharing” slow them down.
Basically, he stood by with his thumb up his arse and yelled “FASTER! FASTER”!!!!
Because he’s a ****.

It bothers me Roger, but only as much as other people’s behaviour, it’s a wicked world.
I don’t know if it’s true or Left Wing gossip/bs but I heard the other day that the Met Police are now investigating Kwasi Kwarteng’s budget as its alleged that as a result of it and the financial meltdown it caused several of his former colleagues in the Hedge Fund world profited.
They are all at it.

If only partygate was Johnson's only crime. This is an individual that has attacked and degraded our institutions, tried to re-write the rulebook for his mates (Paterson), put our national security at risk, has eroded citizens rights and has presided over widespread cronyism and wholesale corruption
The Covid enquiry next, we're not finished with him. I'd like the whole Lebedev thing investigated too.
