If everyone believed he'd done no wrong why do his defenders draw comparison between him and others who have also broke lockdown rules and shout out for them to be punished?
It's a bizarre state of affairs.
If you want the truth ask the Attorney General, he clarified it yesterday.
Some people can't take no for an answer.

Once there, he then took a trip out while he was supposedly in isolation.The Covid-19 virus is spreading through care-homes on Skye, will he be blamed for that as some idiot Labour MP said about Dominic Cummings starting the virus in Durham?
I don't think he should be sacked or resign over it but I would like some balanced reporting instead of politically motivated witch hunts.

Oh give us a break and stop harping on.
You've made your point . You're starting to sound like a heckler on the back benches (poor example I know) ...or Alf Garnett.
By 'some people' you must mean me.
No I don't believe he did the right thing.
I do believe he went against the spirit of lockdown and 'civic duty'. Nor did he factor in how it might appear to the public. Or if he did , he did not care.
He put his personal situation first ... unlike many other people who have made sacrifices or got in a mither or quandary about what exactly they are supposed to do.
If that is the new coronvirus norm that is fine by me but don't expect me to agree with it.
And over 900,000 other members of the public who've signed a petition calling for his resignation or sacking agree with me too though I'd be inclined to let Boris keep his own house in order ... and he's failed abysmally on that one, to the degree that he appears determined to brazen it out.
By the way .. I'm neither wealthy nor a Remainer. I abstained from voting on the referendum as I wasn't sure, then drifted toward the Brexiteers viewpoint, but seeing how some of them behave now I'm beginning to feel sorry for the Remainers.
This is nothing to do with Brexit though I gather on the strength of it that some would even defend DC if he committed murder.
He seems something of an untouchable golden boy... the problem now facing the country is a society asked to conform to the governments advice to combat a pandemic.
And DC stepped outside of the guidelines.
It's that simple.
Now ... like ping-pong you can wing that back and tell me how good DC is and how pure and a great guy.
I'll still disagree with you.

Attorney general Suella Braverman belongs to controversial Buddhist sect
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-buddhist-sect
Last week, a member of the order, called Vishvapani, acknowledged Braverman’s appointment as the first Buddhist attorney general on his Facebook page, the timeline of which includes at least one picture of the order’s late founder, Dennis Lingwood. The post was subsequently deleted.
Lingwood’s abuse of his position down the years has been well documented, with many male followers saying they were coerced into having sex with him. But the Triratna community continues to promote his teachings and life. Its websites feature many photographs of Lingwood and his writings and stress his centrality to Triratna. Lingwood, who took the Buddhist name Sangharakshita and died in 2018 aged 93, presided over a sexually licentious culture that influenced others in the sect.

Philippe Sands QC, a professor of international law at University College London, said: “The absolute integrity of an attorney general is the prerequisite for a functioning democracy. When doubt is cast over the integrity of an attorney general, that person has to go.
“She must have known that the possibility could not be excluded that the Durham police would have been involved. She has completely extinguished with a single tweet her integrity.”
“There’s a conflict between her position constitutionally providing independent advice to the prime minister and her role as an MP tweeting political support. She can do one or the other; she can’t do both.”
