He's a scapegoat- pure and simple. MPs are frantically trying to blame him in the hope that they will deflect some of the bad publicity away from themselves and onto him. Yes, he probably should have done more, but the fact is that even if he had wanted to there was simply not the political will to do so.
Sacking him would be a very verya dangerous precedent indeed.
