Matt Hancock..awful. Anyone else feel the same?

Like an overexcited public school boy revelling in telling us what we can and can’t do.

Alert for all fans: Hannibal Hancock on GMB next Grin

shesellsseashells99 · 23/11/2020 07:45

I'm going to go against the grain and I don't feel that about him at all...

Rhine · 23/11/2020 08:20

I think he’s quite cute in awkward, geeky kind of way...

NameChChChChChanges · 23/11/2020 20:22

Whoever said he's quite sporty....reminded me of another cringe video of him attempting 'parkour'. Or rather, jumping off a wall with white sports socks on.

What a bunch of trolls there are here. It's not in the spirit.

Just because you don't like lockdown.

Disgusting.

@AnyFucker

I don't get the Hancock Hate, personally

That man has the worst job in the country right now. He hasn't flaked away like some of the others. He's been wheeled out countless times when the shit has been flying around. He doesn't strike me as a backstabbing, misogynist empathy-vacuum like eg. Rees-Mogg.

Our health secretary could be worse. I know this is hardly a ringing endorsement, however Smile

I literally said this to a friend yesterday. I'm sure he never thought he'd be in so much shit when he first got this job and I like him. He's interrogated every other morning on Breakfast and always speaks calmly and doesn't flounder like most of the other current MPs do.

He's ok in my eyes.

Legoandloldolls · 23/11/2020 20:53

I honestly dont know why as a general rule dont like Torys but I'm afraid to say I quite like him. Must have been locked up for too long now.

I think we got over familiar in the first wave daily bulletins or maybe a mini breakdown but I was impressed he could string a direct sentence together without needing to check his notes.

But I quite fancy Tom Hiddleston as Loki so maybe it's a evil villain phase?

Sorry for lowering the tone 😂

MsJinks · 23/11/2020 21:01

I find him totally repulsive for no reason - soon as I saw/heard him - but I’ll accept that’s just a not very nice of me reaction. However, he has been downright rude and patronising when cornered - to the Labour Dr MP who asked a valid question, and the MP for Luton I think, who asked why he’d ‘misspoke’ re working with his council the previous week - really came over as if he just knew he was better than them and as if they weren’t worth his manners - made me cringe. I accept his job is stressful but sometimes he really does show a nasty, spiteful streak to others. Many MPs don’t seem to agree with my politics 🤷🏼‍♀️ but the majority retain some semblance of politeness in public - really made me question his possible -isms - so can’t understand how people think he is an ok guy with this behaviour.

AnyFucker · 23/11/2020 21:03

That Parkour video is so funny. Ole Hanky down wiv da kidz.

Thereluctantstepmother · 23/11/2020 21:34

All Tories are creepy and inhumane at that.

ChristmasinJune · 23/11/2020 21:48

Ah no leave him alone!! Every time I see him I get the distinct impression he has
"Howthefuckdidigethere?howthefuckdidIgethere?" Playing in a loop in his little brain.
He really should have been a computer software developer in Milton Keynes.

user1471565182 · 24/11/2020 03:30

Oh god Gavin Williamson. Have a look at some of his ideas whilst in defence. Hes so transparently desperate to be seen as some sort of Churchillian maverick (remind you of anybody else?) and its completely pathetic.

user1471565182 · 24/11/2020 03:31

They need to remake this with MT Shank cock yo

user1471565182 · 24/11/2020 03:52

Remember when Jeremy Hunt ws culture secretary hid behind a tree so the press wouldnt see him at a murdoch do when they were trying to wrongly buy up yet more of the british media?

I noticed yesterday when there was an alleged malfunction in the link to Downing Street (which I don't believe for one second), Matt Hancock had to step in and take the awkward questions which Mr Johnson had dodged.

I maintain my opinion he is just a man overpromoted and out of his depth.

jetadore · 24/11/2020 07:27

Oh leave the poor guy alone, if you were an alien being in a human skin suit you'd probably come off as creepy too!

TikTakTikTak · 24/11/2020 08:14

Looks at Hancock, then at Greenland

Really?!

I agree. I don't know how he manages to keep going.
Helendee · 24/11/2020 08:55

Sniffer Biden, Sir Kneelalot Starmer and any Lib Dem MP creeps me out.
Dominic Cummings did as well.

tsmainsqueeze · 24/11/2020 10:56

@goosebumps

The comments most of you are saying about someone you don't know personally say a lot more about you than him.

Horrible thread.

I wonder if this is his wife -no sympathy from me , anyone who stands with that silly smug grin whilst people are out of their mind worrying how they are going to cope doesn't deserve respect . I utterly despise them all , they are a disgrace .
PawsAndPhytoncides · 24/11/2020 10:58

@EvilPea

I heard him described as Your sisters first boyfriend with a car

And I think it’s spot on. He is like a comedy character.

Came here to say this. I think it was Charlie Brooker that said it?

Makes me chuckle everytime I see him.

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 24/11/2020 11:07

He doesn't always help himself much - it was making me cringe watching Piers Morgan ask about the MP pay rise and whether MH would be accepting his. I would have do much more respect for a person who just answered that question openly.

GreenlandTheMovie · 24/11/2020 11:29

Some of the comments on here are giving me the creeps. Honestly, what goes on in some people's brains to think it's acceptable to talk about another human being like that? Imagine it was reversed and someone eviscerated your character in those terms?

And yet people wonder why the standard of politicians in this country is poor. So many people who would be good must be discouraged by this sort of thing.

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 24/11/2020 11:38

I do think people should steer clear of implying certain things about other people on the internet, unless they'd be happy to defend that position in court.

Mimilamore · 24/11/2020 11:53

I think he is a potential family annialator, all respectability until something doesn't go his way..,.
