Back to Boris

Following on from yesterday's thread about Boris, I linked to the BBC opinion page. there are now lots of contributions, I have not read them all but I like this one:

I cannot understand the hype in this country about private affairs of
politicians! They, as all of us, should be held accountable for the outcome
of their work, not what they do in private life!
Jan, Reading.

Although the contentious issue in this case is that he lied to his boss, Michael Howard about it. But is it anymore Howard's business than ours?
