You broke the law and got away with it. That doesn't mean millions of people weren't having a thoroughly miserable time of it observing the law, and for a lot longer than "a couple of months in 2020".
There was no law preventing people travelling or doing anything.
Boris said "it would be best if you don't" and then held parties. He got away with it because he didn't break any laws.
I had to travel for work, so I didn't even break guidance as in their advice, people who had to travel still could. No one ever checked which is my point.
To hear one of the most shameful periods in our legal history being brushed off as couple of months of half hearted barely observed lockdown is pretty disturbing.
Because you are just making stuff up now.

Restrictions on movement
6.—(1) During the emergency period, no person may leave the place where they are living without reasonable excuse.
Driving around still happened, as some of us need to do it to support systems. There were plenty of lorries and cars on the road.
