The commenters on the most recent post on Boris' blog have been quick in sympathising with his departure from the Conservative front bench.

Foolish move on Howard's part I reckon. Also just wrong: I live in hope that one day when some sex scandal breaks about a politician their party will quite properly shrug and point out that it's irrelevant.

Just back from seeing Hero with Katy and Joff. Very good, though not quite as impressive as Crouching Tiger, and slightly marred by the blatant totalitarian sub-text (I may be slow, but I didn't notice a subversive sub-sub-text).

Look up what happened to Emmett Stag (sp?) if you want to see a shrugged off sex scandal. Or, an example of government manipulation of the media, depending on your political point of view.

And what I read in the news suggested that it was lying rather than having an affair that led to Johnson's being fired. Or to be even more specific, being proven to have lied.
