Not the right or wrong of what he did but DC's poor communication with his govt bosses and failing to involve the team who look after their safety and security, if that is how it happened I wouldn't want him in my team, or running the country.
That post doesn't quite chime with "The whole country knows he was wrong"

Interesting on the political affiliation.

This is what I find.
anti-Tory criticise him almost without exception.
ant--Brexit ditto
Pro Tory - a significant % are critical
Pro Brexit - a significant % are critical
examples being pundits Julia Hartley-Brewer and Tim Montgomerie.

It seems that someone politically opposed to the Johnson led Tories has difficulty cutting him some slack.

But they other way around when it was Stephen Kinnock, Kinnock's political opponents still found it within themselves to support him.

I think it tends to show we are splitting between Libertarian and Statist. Leftist libertarians like Claire Fox and Paul Embery are aligned with Tory libertarians like Douglas Carswell.
