He is a liar; he was a proven liar even before he entered politics; he's been sacked - twice! - for lying; and even when caught out, repeatedly, he will say anything rather than take responsibility and make an unequivocal apology. During my career, the corporations I worked for all had something in the company rule book that made "bringing the company into disrepute" a serious disciplinary matter. What is the point of our country's laws if the law-makers can break them with impunity?
Whatever our individual politics, any hope we have for a caring, compassionate society is forlorn while the examples set are by a Prime Minister who is a liar and a cheat.
