I can only go on what you post, and you are defending him...
It’s not black and white - there’s an enormous difference between Joe Public going to the corner shop, and one of the most influential political aides in the country driving 250 miles, when he was massively involved in drawing up the guidelines and restrictions.
It’s why someone shoplifting would be treated differently from a Police Officer robbing a bank - there’s a difference in scale, and the fact that those in authority and in positions of power should be held to higher standards.
