I'm genuinely confused by a lot of the fuss made with this stuff - by which I mean judging people's behaviour in the past by today's standards, and assuming that today's standards are final and correct. No doubt some people did some very naughty things years ago, and some have been rightly vilified after their death or indeed locked up for a long time if still alive.

Can you imagine going into the history of let's say a ficticious rock band called, oh I dunno, the Strolling Bones, and seeing if they did anything a bit off the wall with young, innocent groupies about half a century ago.

Or could you imagine examining the history of the BBC to see if they ever ran a prime time Saturday night show called the Black and White Minstrels ? Any ancient executives from the BBC been locked up for that one yet ?? Or how about Love Thy Neighbour, or Alf Garnett. Terrible, and thoroughly gross by today's standards, but perfectly acceptable and even considered funny once upon a time.

Among those offended by the alleged wrong doing, they "might" feel that a government leader must not have a blemish, that is huge in their mind, on their/it's record.
