  • Why do people care?

    Because it is similar to the cult of Trump where people will display an utter lack of integrity to defend or support their self serving leader.

    It is instructive to have clear examples of people telling lies.

    I agree in general but what we have seen with this government is that they have minimised the impact of big lies by constantly telling small ones. By focusing on trivia like this, the Press dilutes the impact of the stuff that matters. Particularly here, given that we know that Johnson never focused on the red boxes whether or not he was on holiday.

  • We appear to have different perspectives. It has come to the point where big and little lies have passed by the general public. It just feels to me to be useful to be continually aware of them and at some point a little one may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

    A bit like with Boris losing his position, it was the drip drip drip that finally did him in. He did so much wrong that would have caused anyone with an ounce of shame to resign, and it took forever for his party to finally decide it was unacceptable.
