To think that Matt Hancock had to be got rid of and so was stitched up?

[GoldenLabbie]

I’ll start by saying I’m not one for conspiracies, neither do I particularly like Hancock. I’ve suspected it all along, but I can see it even more clearly now. He was the one person standing in the way of fully lifting restrictions, wanting to proceed with caution and so they had to get rid of him. I can’t believe more people haven’t worked it out yet. Why sit on that footage for six weeks? They had his successor in in under and hour.

It makes me sick. What a terrifying joke of a government we have.

I didn’t say he was doing good did I? Just that he’s been stitched up, and is actually a damn sight better than what we’ve got now.

If it was in a podcast it's 100% true of course

Given the fact that he was clearly shagging her in his office, I'm guessing he wasn't doing his job when he was supposed to be?[/quote]
He wasn’t shagging her in the office. Unless there’s more CCTV that we’ve not yet seen..

You're a loon. These idiots are too stupid to successfully enact a conspiracy. Wankcock got done over because his arrogance rubbed up the wrong person the wrong way.

Jellyfish Johnson wanted him there to take the blame for the covid disaster next year

I’m guessing Boris and the rest knew what the cheating little wanker was up to and weren’t arsed either way until it suited them. Then the footage was leaked to the scum and Hancock was gone.

I imagine they’ve all got all sorts of dirt on each other including on the prime minister, and they will leak it to the press as and when they want to, depending on who they want to replace as quickly as possible or to distract while they do something awful.

I couldn’t give a shit what people do in their private lives so long as they can do their jobs.

His job entailed telling the country to avoid hugging relatives whilst himself canoodling his aide. The hypocrisy was the issue, not the canoodling. (Don’t usually use the word “canoodling” lol but it suits him 😂 )

Also thank god dido H is no longer on course to be Head of NHS as a result of him leaving.

His corruption, hypocrisy and wasting billions of public money surely negates any vague notion of how he has done a “good job”?!

100% have you ever watched the thick of it?

You did say he was good at his job.

Well you didn’t use those words but you did say “I don’t care what people do in their private lives as long as they’re good at their job.

Your thread is about Matt Hancock so forgive me for assuming you were talking about him

I said to DH earlier, I reckon he got the chop because he was being too cautious opening stuff up.

It seems to me that all MH's dreams came true at once, but yes, I suspect there are plenty of others who could have gone the same way but "someone" decided he was the one.

I still think it was a honey trap. Only from the video clip where she didn’t look so “into him”. I agree that the timing and the whole thing is odd.

The fact that he had an affair in self is aside from his wife and kids and her husband and kids no ones business. It’s the hypocrisy that’s pissed most people off in a major way.

Nah, you're barking up the wrong tree I think. Boris never needed Matt's permission to do anything.
The affair was definitely a 'dead cat' situation though, to detract from his dodgy and illegal cash for contracts which strangely people seem less bothered about .

If you don't think he was good at his job, how exactly was this a stick up..?

None of your posts make any sense

It's everyones business when he has his affair at work, and employed someone on public money just so he could have someone to fuck at work.

Eh? No one forced his tongue down his aides throat. How exactly was it a stitch up? End of the day the guy didn't even abide by his own guidance and whilst we were all refusing to hug our mothers, he was like a teenager at the school disco playing tonsil tennis behind the bike shed.

That's the joke, not the fact he got caught.

And let's not forget that we were all paying for his bit on the side too.

I'm delighted he had an affair and stitched himself up and out of a job. Sajid javid is a much better health secretary and is getting us out of lockdown. I'm made up!!

The cards were already on the table with the leak about Boris calling him useless or whatever it was he said. They'd have found some way to oust him.
The affair made it easier for them.

I think he left before the questions got too awkward. Gina Coladangelo had what you can only call a "cushy job", 15 grand for two weeks work, and had a romantic relationship with the man Matt Hancock who gave her that job. Whether job or affair came first and who acted improperly can now be brushed under the carpet. It's obvious that something like isn't above board and shouldn't be acceptable.

That both were married and that they broke covid laws was just the icing on top and the reason it got exposed. The real issue is a government minister giving taxpayers' money to someone he's in a relationship with.

Firstly it wasn't in his private life it was in a government office.

Secondly how do you think they stitched him up, all I can think of was they positioned her just right, tripped him as he entered the room and lo he ended up in her arms. Not sure what all that looking round the door was about. I'll have to think about that one.

If it was a honey trap wouldn't she be all over him like a rash? Unless she's a very bad actress I suppose. Why would she do it though?

I think it was a trap for Boris. If he sacked Hancock for breaking covid rules (which Boris avoided doing), then a week later the other minister (who seems to have a superinjunction out now so has avoided censure) is found to have also had an affair then Boris has his hand forced to sack him too, then they leak the evidence of a Boris affair (there has to be a few during lockdown surely) and he has to go too.

Such a honeytrap that they were decades-long mates, he had made up an overpaid job for her that meant she could accompany him on trips to shag him, plus he bunged her brother a load of government contracts, and they are allegedly now living together.

That is quite some honeytrap set up...

@Orf1abc

You're giving too much credit to Hancock, he's in on it as well. The cabinet decided they needed to massively u turn and forget their 'following the science' claims, but Hancock would completely lose face if he did that. So he steps down and 'all about the money' Javid steps in.

The manipulation is terrifying, yes.

I'm sure he could have thought of a less painful way to step down. He's so mentally and physically exhausted he can't do the job as he'd want to or his wife apparently has long covid so he needed to step down to give her the support she needs.

If ruining his marriage and hers, making himself a laughing stock and upsetting six children is the only way he could think of to step down then thank God he's gone.
