Am I the only one to find this 'defence' quite extraordinary?
Were we not told most specifically that we must refrain from travelling across the country to visit our parents?
But apart from that - is there, then, a moral scale of justification in terms of the reason for flouting lockdown?
So if you are after illicit sex, that's a bit naughty. But if you're regrouping to a lovely annex in the country, grandparents to hand, we can turn a fond (but very) blind eye?
The real reason Dom did what he liked was:
He has zero respect for anyone's opinion apart from his own, and was fucked if he was going to be locked down.
Zero respect for the country, the people (us sheep), and, for what the PM says.
So, a maverick. Boris rather likes mavericks. He admires their spirit. And it was much on this kind of wave that he roused whoever he could onwards and 'upwards' towards the final front of Brexit (trampling any protesters under hoof).
But the virus isn't Brexit. Boris knows that. And he knows he's pushing his credit a bit at the moment with the goodwill of the country. And he also knows the country hates Dom. Even more so now. But Boris can't be without him.

Boris says Dom can stay because 'he wasn't visiting a lover' - so should we all have ignored Boris's speech about not seeing our parents on Mother's' Day?!
