Its good entertainment, even if perhaps a bit tacky.

Reading about whether politicians or the press are telling lies.

There were fine statements that 'justice'  requires that people do not lie to the courts.

Good rhetoric.

But how much does it really matter whether a newspaper report that a politician went to a sex club is true or false?

Why its more important than other celebrity gossip? Why should the police have bothered with it? 

Its not as if either party has a reputation worth defending.  

Compare this with the family courts. Lies are told all the time - with complete impunity. The effects on children can last all their life.

Has there even been a case for perjury? Would be police be interested?
