I think it's a bit unreasonable to hold politicians up to standards
that we don't hold other people to. I bet that Mair bloke has said some unpleasant things on the phone, too. To insult somebody on the television is just out of order.

I agree with that last point, what Boris says to his mates when no-one SHOULD be listening is nobody's business but his own
As regards things like marital and professional honesty... I don't think a bit of integrity is too much to ask from our potential future PM. Winders makes a good point about that ground having been raked over before though.

If you have to go back to 1990 to find something unpleasant
that somebody else once asked from him, then that's probably not too bad, really.

The more I think about this the more unreasonable his treatment is
Especially since, again now I think of it, the interviewer hardly touched on anything current.

Nonetheless, live by the sword of modern mass media...
