"Oh yeah - give him a peerage for undermining the lockdown regs by going on a trip to test his eyesight? I don't think so."
Sigh.
How many more times does it have to be said that he didn't break and laws or regulations?
He didn't follow a guideline, and there is a yawning chasm of a difference between not following a guideline and not following a regulation.
Tax evasion is illegal, tax avoidance is not - this is fundamentally the same difference between a regulation and a guideline.
I can remember when he didn't follow a guideline and I can also remember you describing your daughter as being "apoplectic" because he didn't follow a law/regulation - I also remember suggesting that you try to explain to your daughter the difference between the two. Did you?
I'm happy to admit I know the square root of eff all about this man, or what he does (or did - now the past tense applies), but I DO know he didn't break any law or regulation.
