It's not difficult. Learn to spell.

It's not that difficult learn not to be a prick.

The subject of this thread does seem to find not being driven by his prick quite difficult.

Matt Hancock affair (2)
belimoo · 25/06/2021 20:54

I haven't RTFT, so apologies if this has already been said but surely this is worse than the Cummings Barnard Castle thing?

If that warranted a rose garden grilling then how can this be swept under the rug?

Jobs for the boys, ruled on by the PM .... i used to think certain African countries were corrupt but the British seem to avoid this particular accusation by making it lawful enterprise.

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

Just me that has this ear worm?

See I don't swallow the idea that the problems were due to inexperience. This is the government of the UK are we really meant to believe their is no talent in the UK?

It's not that there is a lack of talent, but there is a lack of talent willing to work for this government.

@Carboholic

I assume it's been leaked as he's been designated as the person to be thrown under the bus instead of Johnson. So he will have to go eventually. They don't half cling on these days though.

I agree. Wouldn’t be half surprised if BJ himself was behind it. Such convenient timing for him isn’t it?

I agree. I reckon he's had this ready to leak for ages.

Johnson is under pressure from backbenchers and Sunak to drop restrictions. The public is becoming increasingly less compliant. Hancock urges caution.

Now Johnson can relax restrictions and Hancock can't credibly oppose him in Cabinet. If it goes tits up he can blame Hancock because, alas, Hancock's behaviour reduced public confidence and forced his hand. He can then dispense with Hancock when it's convenient. At the moment no one would want the job.

Frezia · 25/06/2021 21:01

How would Hancock being the scapegoat in the inquest work unless Johnson actually fired him for one of these numerous scandals? That ship has sailed. There's more of a chance of Hancock going rogue like Cummings and blaming it all on Johnson.
Boris surrounded himself with those who are like him - incompetent and immoral - whose role is to keep lowering the bar of public expectations.

Bloody hell his poor wife and kids. There is a special place in hell for someone who not only cheats, but does so knowing that any proof of affair would be so public. I feel sick for the poor woman.

She will be the only person to emerge from this car crash with even a shred of dignity.

Sky News can reveal that Roberto Coladangelo - who is Gina Coladangelo's brother - works at Partnering Health Limited (PHL Group), a specialist in the provision of urgent and primary care services to NHS patients.

Why would a company specialising in the provision of urgent and primary care services to NHS patients not have several NHS contracts??

mobear · 25/06/2021 21:10

Look, people really like it when you go just a bit early! You know, steely-jawed, faraway look in your eyes! Before they're getting to the point when they're sitting round in the pub saying "Oh, that fucker's got to go", you surprise them! "Blimey, he's gone, I didn't expect that!

He should have taken Malcolm Tucker's advice.

jakeyboy1 · 25/06/2021 21:16

But, but, how the fuck does he have the time?!

I can barely see my own partner let alone someone else's and I'm not in charge of a National crisis ffs.

Mooda · 25/06/2021 21:16

It says SO much about BJ that he thinks this is all just fine and dandy. To a serial cheat like him this is no big deal. But once he gets the feedback from his beloved focus groups, Hancock will be gone, I'm sure of it. It's not the affair that voters will object to, it's the hypocrisy. This will cut through like Cummings and Barnard Castle, no question. The interesting thing will be watching the manoeuvres. I reckon Hancock will be pushed to resign on Monday as BJ won't want to have to sack him.

WHAT A LAD.

Just shows how strong our leadership is!

I thought the handling of this pandemic was great and then I saw how Matt handled Gina! What a pro.

Will vote Tory for life. Bunch of legends.

@Mooda Boris is in a bit of a bind though as he can't really criticise MH when he's just married his mistress.

So she worked for a large organization. But at what level and what were her responsibilities ? What did this strategic counsel involve ? How do we know that it was successful ?
