But he hasn't. And frankly, I have bigger things to care about in my personal life and also in terms of any wider political thoughts. He hasn't resigned, he probably isn't going to. What's the point in going on and on about it?

I use the Brexit second referendum argument merely to illustrate my point - I suspect you thought that was a bit naughty to do that without implementing the first referendum. I suspect you may have thought deep down that it was a bit wrong. A bit unfair etc and likely to alienate millions. But I also doubt you were as angry about it or as exercised as me. I saw it as a total affront to democracy, the way you seem to view 'partygate'.

Thats how these things work, and so be it. The world would be dull if we all thought the same and like I said, I just think we all have bigger things to worry about. But I repeat, I think he should have resigned.
and I repeat, your previous thought on the subject was this equivocation.

He should resign, or offer the mother of apologies, including a strong apology for the extent of the lockdown.
