I think it must be, because we are discussing the repercussions of the
behaviour of a PM of the UK who lied not only to Parliament, but the
entire country, including the Queen, and was never prosecuted or even
sanctioned by Parliament. It clearly *is* permissible.

But Blair hadnt been PM for years and neither has John Major???
