In recent days Tory front-bencher and editor of Spectator magazine, Boris Johnson was sacked for "lying about his private life".
Two problems seem to be evident here:-
Firstly, the sacking was made amid speculation about BoJo's private life. Surely this should have stayed private. As a visitor to the BBC website eloquently put it, "he doesn't want to tell about it and we don't want to hear about it"
Secondly, he was sacked for lying. Surely this cements his position as a great politician. The sole purpose of a politician is to lie to the general public sufficiently well that they don't get too unruly.
My grandfather once said, when asked who he would be voting for:-
"The person who tells the most plausible lies!"
