Imagine the most Bavarian scene possible, Alpen foothills; locals out in traditional garb, houses with flowered wooden balconies. Sound of a brass band .. That's where I am right now.

The law has nothing to do with morals. Morals are a matter for individuals not the law.
Of course the law is shaped on our morals as a society. Unless you're advocating a Ron Paul type society, which wouldn't be a completely bad thing, then it is a battle to define what those morals are.
And TSE, in the closet? Quite the opposite.
Presumably you also think adultery is immoral, what with it being against one of the Ten Commandments.
Would you make that illegal / criminal as well?
Also suicide. Which actually was illegal until the Suicide Act 1961. Prior to that unsuccessful suicides were convicted and imprisoned. We think that modern mores are typical of history, whereas they are quite exceptional
Even worse, it used to carry the death penalty. There is an appalling story in I think Alvarez' The Savage God about a bloke who cut his throat, and was very difficult to hang because the wound kept opening up.
The Dream Team! They're now voting for people who can beat Johnson. Only Gove can do that because no one else could be as unscrupulous. Four weeks for Mrs Vine to work her magic.

Something I've mentioned previously, but when William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw) was hanged, the deep razor cut on his face, a souvenir of 1930s street fighting, burst open.
I hereby declare, with complete lack of logic, that we can count all non Boris votes together, and therefore it is effectively Johnson 160, Hunt 152. See, very close.
If Boris runs the country as well as he has run this contest, we will be fine......
He has a lot less control over relevant factors when running the country. Even of the factors he has controlled during the contest, they will be far more unreliable when it comes to actually governing. So it seems a faint hope.

Gove - 61
Hunt - 59
Javid – 34 (out)
Not really sure why Sajid bothered, but I suppose that's easy to say in hindsight.
In which case, the new leader has no working majority in the House of Commons even with the DUP.
Thinking is most Javid's will go to him?
