Lol like a boss!!

Folks it pays to have friends in high places.

Integrity? Accountability?

Not in Japan. Move along now.

Shameless to the end. The resignation is a stunt, an attempt to avoid an inquiry. Whilst an appalling politically incompetent and ineffective opposition this government will carry on aggrogantly taking the people for granted.

to take responsibility for the matter, which she said had "shaken public confidence" in the ministry and the SDF.

No. It had only shaken confidence in the minister herself.

On a separate point:

Inada, wearing a black suit,

Would a man's clothing have been commented on similarly? I doubt it.

No apology

No inquiry

Forget about it, nothing to see here.

Minor issue and she is tossed out! She should have stuck it out. Tomomi should be the next PM.

Would a man's clothing have been commented on similarly? I doubt it.

Of course not! And if she were a man she wouldn't have had to resign either. Down with the patriarchy!!!

No reason to suppose that.

Japanese people/the clowns in charge of Japan need to remember these people are public servants, not lords, ladies, earls, royalty or whatever.

Government arrogance and obedient servants performing мilitary honors for the most incompetent minister ever!

Not only she did not deserve that - she shouldn't have get this post in first place.

She was asked one last question and it is obvious she doesn't have the capacity even to understand the meaning of it mumbling like a school girl!

Inada, wearing a black suit

Most politicians wear black suits so this is hardly news. If she was dressed as Kermit the frog it might be worth a mention.

Inada offered no apology because she has no shame. People like her talk about teaching ethics to the youth but have none themselves.

What, you think there was only one issue?

Tomomi should be the next PM.

A view no doubt shared by her good friends in the Japan National Socialist Party - although she can't remember who any of them are, of course, and didn't know anything about them when she posed for photos with them.

This woman has given me the creeps since day one. She reminds me of that kind of obasan in your English class who wrongly tries to correct you on a grammar point and then goes behind your back to the school admin to complain about you when you correct her "correction".

Oh yes, she'll definitely be getting the Nobel Peace Prize for that. Maybe a few honorary doctorates, a damehood from Queen Elizabeth II and an Academy Award as well. Monumental, to be sure.
