To think Matt Hancock and that Gina woman are a disgrace?

Going off for a romantic break and making sure the paps were tipped off so we can all see how ‘together’ they are. Talk about rubbing his wife and her husbands noses in it. She looks unbelievably smug as well! What a piece of work she is.

Why’s she worse than he is?

I didn’t say she was did I? I just can’t get over her brass necked smug expression when they’ve ruined six children’s lives.

Lol, they're a bit tacky but I wouldn't say its a disgrace Grin

I was having a quick flick through the DM this morning (don't shoot me, I read UK several papers online as I'm abroad) and I had a chuckle at the headline "£87 a night Alpine retreat". And how the rooms are sound-proofed Grin.

They've just got to brass it out, I guess- the embarrassment and drama at the time must have been excruciating.

BitterTits · 02/09/2021 14:59

They're gross but what does it matter any more? Sadly, decency has become irrelevant, particularly to the powerful.

Ok maybe disgrace is a bit extreme, shameless then. If they were both unhappily married why didn’t they just leave their spouses? If that CCTV footage hadn’t have been leaked they’d still be with them I’m sure, though I still find it hard to believe that he didn’t know that camera was there.

Disgrace? How on earth do you know they tipped off the press? You can't possibly know.

LukeEvansWife · 02/09/2021 15:12

Unless you know them or their exes or children, I choose not to judge their actions. Things are often more nuanced than people admit. If it doesn't affect your life, why get wound up? Smile

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 02/09/2021 15:12

No, disgrace is the right word. Pair of snakes so they are.

LukeEvansWife · 02/09/2021 15:12

And how come you use Matt Hancock's full name but his partner is "that Gina woman"?

Mercurial123 · 02/09/2021 15:14

If you don't like it, read a better quality newspaper?

RickJames · 02/09/2021 15:14

By the way, love your prefix of 'that' for Gina Grin

It's how I know my DM has no time for someone - 'that' Maureen (uppity madam) as opposed to Jean or Margaret who are considered decent 🤣

Quickchangeartiste · 02/09/2021 15:14

Marriages fail every day, for a multitude of reasons, but often due to affairs.
It’s sad for those involved, but those 2 are no better nor worse than the ones we don’t read about in the red tops.
I am sorry if this story involves you or triggers you, but it’s none of my business.

Now what is amusingly interesting is Matt Hancock’s Just Giving page for the marathon he’s running which has been so overrun by trolls pretending to be Dominic C / Rishi / his wife etc that someone’s had to go and make a load of tiny donations to push all the piss take / bad comments down

LukeEvansWife · 02/09/2021 15:16

I have noticed on the relationships board that whenever a man leaves a woman due to being unhappy/fallen out of love, everyone piles on to say that he must be seeing someone else. So even if MH had left his wife first, I am sure there would be plenty of speculation on here about how he is obviously cheating

OnOldOlympus · 02/09/2021 15:16

Meh. Haters gonna hate. Shaggers gonna shag. The world keeps on turning.

FleasInMyKnees · 02/09/2021 15:16

I don't think she looks smug, you don't know who told the press where they are going, we know nothing about either of their marriages, it's old new, their respective spouses might be glad they are gone.

So much this.

They both did it in similar circumstances but he gets the full title. Daily Mail fan OP?

Very sadly all the comments have been deleted
TheWoleb · 02/09/2021 15:23

Your OP very clearly shows that you're judging her more than you're judging him. The misogyny is glaring through your post.

They both cheated. They both did an awful thing. They both deserve to have people look down at them. But that's really were it ends. It isnt anything to do with you or anyone else.

HarrietsChariot · 02/09/2021 15:24

Probably because Matt Hancock is well known and "that Gina woman" isn't. Genuinely, off the top of my head I've no idea what her surname is.

PurpleDaisies · 02/09/2021 15:25

He’s a disgrace because of how he acted at health Secretary. How anyone wants to be within 2m of him is beyond me.

Chloemol · 02/09/2021 15:28

Oh get over yourself, it’s no different that anyone else doing it

No one give a shit

Thatsjustwhatithink · 02/09/2021 15:30

Why are you do bothered? They're together and it's got nothing to do with you. Live your own life.

Tal45 · 02/09/2021 15:30

I don't know how he's still got a job to be honest (and no I don't mean just because he's a cheating scumbag and an embarrassment). They're one as bad as the other and deserve each other no doubt.

Yes I’ll judge her. She was supposed to be friends with Matt’s wife and they’d all know each other since Uni. They’d even spent Christmases together. I could never do that to someone I considered a friend, ever. I’m very aware he’s as bad by the way. I just couldn’t remember her last name😶 It won’t be long before he’s at it with someone else I reckon.
