There is so much in the news about #Nenegate, and #Zumamustfall. It's made me wonder - if there is a modicum of truth (and it would appear that there is for the Financial Times to report it), should there not be an investigation? And then?

I don’t usually do online quizzes, but here’s a fun one - How many laws did you break today? Just by doing what you normally do, without thinking? Go on, you know you want to. Women only.
