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

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.

@GoWalkabout

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.
Ooh who's the unnamed minister please?

Boris was very careful not to sack him for the affair though, he "resigned" for breaking social distancing rules.

I do want to know what Boris' superinjunction is about though, something to do with a violin I believe?

It’s not really relevant thought is it? I couldn’t give a shit what people do in their private lives so long as they can do their jobs.

It becomes relevant when they are doing this in work time, especially when someone works for the Government and even more so mid pandemic.
This becomes even more of an issue when one of those people are partially responsible for setting rules and guidelines which the public need to follow, but he is then also breaking those very same rules himself.

Nothing will convince me that Johnson hadn't known about that video for a long time. Hancock went when it was convenient to get lockdown relaxation of restrictions moving.

I’m sure everyone knew, most office affairs are common knowledge and I imagine HOC is very gossipy

She was with him all the time. There are photos of them together going back two years, they’ve been at it for most of that time IMO.
