Seemed like the sadly inevitable conclusion from the day the inquiry was
announced.

But all these sort of enquiries find the government of the day blameless.
Profumo, anyone?

Yes, but the Profumo Affair was a straightforward sex and spy story
leading to an enquiry by none other than Denning and the resignation
of the prime minister. Moral values of the era had been transgressed
and it was the red under the bed era or just after.

Here, the morality is totally gone together with the notion of
wrongdoing. Packaging it up for public consumption is as demeaning
as the thought that it's possible to get away with this type of thing.
It makes Nixon look like a choirboy.
