Looks like we might need a new thread.

@Roussette

I feel very sorry for his wife. And the handsome husband of the woman what on earth was she THINKING?

But ... the whole tawdry thing is appalling.

I've written to my MP, because come on... this is not the first time this shower have treated the general public with disdain.

Do as I say, not as I do.

I doubt my MP will answer, he is the worst MP in the country, but still

Are you from Shrewsbury? If not, I'll challenge you!

If Hancock does get the sack or resigns, it’s highly likely Michael Gove will become health secretary

NeverfishedinFrance · 26/06/2021 00:45

My son and daughter couldn't see the grandad who doted on them in the nine months before he died of Covid. I saw him twice for twenty minutes in the days before he died. I wanted to hold his hand but wasn't allowed. I know there are thousands of people with similar experiences and if Matt Hancock had one ounce of decency and care for others he would resign but somehow we continue to allow this government to treat us appallingly. I am glad people at least can share a funny moment about Hancock's awfulness but as he is one of many in this government I think he will stay.

Houseofvelour · 26/06/2021 00:46

@Rhayader he seems like he'd be completely incompetent at almost everything. Is there anything that he's actually good at?

Ostara212 · 26/06/2021 00:49

Blossom thank you

I'm a privacy campaigner. No joke. But after how badly that man has broken everything, I just laughed at this. It's not enough of course, but it's something.

Gothichouse40 · 26/06/2021 00:51

Never liked the man, never trusted him and not in the least bit surprised. However, serious questions are needing asked regarding the recruitment of Ms Coladangelo and her brother, who both seem to have landed top jobs within or working for the NHS. Was she recruited before or after the affair? How does her brother obtain a job too? Are we now employing whole families who are 'friends' of governments ministers? Mr Hancock has made a complete and utter mockery of Lockdown rules, and of the British public who were trying to do their best for the country under hellish circumstances. He should resign, but he won't as who would the PM replace Mr Hancock with? The only sympathy I have in this whole sorry mess is for Mr Hancock's wife and family, it must be awful for them right now.

Dont you think its strange it was done so openly in a corridor with cctv ...surely they would know cameras were there

"I've just been talking to your Health Secretary, poor man. He's...uh..
"Full of beans!
"Ha, ha, yes

Wheresmybiscuit3 · 26/06/2021 01:13

Ffs... needed to say it twice did you? He’s a cretin

Wheresmybiscuit3 · 26/06/2021 01:15

Sorry quite fail... that was in regards to:

Nothingyet
There is a lack of sympathy here.
He and his aide were engaged in a daily battle saving lives, FGS!
Is it wrong for a man and a woman to fall in love?
And to try to snatch some happiness in such circumstance?

ScienceSensibility · 26/06/2021 01:28

How did he not know there was a camera in that room?

I’m genuinely baffled.

Other than that, what a fucking omnishambles is this Government?

Appalling. In the worst year of most people’s lives.
Do some fucking work you useless pigs.

It seems like another big stunt like the Dominic Cummings eye test fiasco. Obviously designed to get us all to say 'fuck this for a laugh I'm not doing what they tell me if they won't do it themselves' because not enough of us are back in workplaces and out spending for the Tories liking.

It’s very strange. Almost as strange as that pretend crying he did in an interview. The whole thing stinks like a fishmongers. Something is off.

Here for the memes 😂

I’ve started antidepressants today. These last 18 months have taken everything out of me. I’m so angry at what this government gets away with. It’s like they are untouchable. What can we do? There must be something except for writing to our MPs.

This might just be the turning point...the public aren’t going to accept BJ’s position that “the matter is closed”. He doesn’t get to decide that.
MercyBooth · 26/06/2021 02:17

Will be interesting to see if the protest kicks off tomorrow. It would very handily shift Hancock from the front pages.

MercyBooth · 26/06/2021 02:42

OMG The Daily Star front page. Grin

I think the video was staged too.

So her dad is the CEO of a GLOBAL Pharmaceutical Company and her brother been awarded millions in NHS contracts for Covid. I think the idiot has been pulled in more ways than one. The whole thing stinks.

IAmDaveTheSerialShagger · 26/06/2021 04:50

@LIZS

Looking at the pic is it cctv or could it have been taken through a window? I believe an adjacent DOH building is being renovated.
It was from a covert camera hidden within the smoke alarm in his office.
TheoMeo · 26/06/2021 06:12

It doesn't have to have been staged by both of them - it could have been staged by either of them. Both behave unnaturally.
