    I understand what you are trying to say but it isn’t impossible for a mental break to result in questionable decisions, or in this case, illegal decisions. It doesn’t mean that he’s not responsible for his actions, even if he doesn’t remember them.

      I’m pretty sure the police have said that he hasn’t done anything illegal.

      Sure and I agree with you. He has been very open with his struggles with depression over decades. They are reporting he is receiving medical care and will be for the foreseeable future; and given how recent this is likely to have been triggered by him finding out it was going to be reported last Thursday.

      Of course there is also the point that this has been blown out of all proportions. The police don’t seem to be pursuing a case and now some news outlets are saying he broke lockdown rules. Well frankly a huge number of people broke lockdown rules…

      I do feel sorry for him and hope he gets the care that he needs as the press are going to be like a dog with a bone; especially the murdoch owned tabloids who want the bbc shut down.
