Yeah, that's my feeling.

I think it's stupid to defend his behaviour because he was only 18 - he knew what he was doing! and yet feel the calls for his expulsion from the England team are way over the top.

Surely for a situation like this there has to be a balance.

Johnson was recorded colluding with a mate to have a journalist beat up - that is far more serious as it was more than words and actual intention to harm someone... why aren't people more upset about that. That incident alone should have excluded the man from ever being PM... and yet our standards have dropped so low for people in public office that he has gotten away with it.
