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

[OKKaren]

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.

I have the seemingly unfashionable opinion that cheating on your spouse and kids is morally wrong. People should have the guts to leave if they want to be with someone else, rather than hurt people by having an affair

That is fine for you.

But it is up to other people what they do with their bodies as consenting adults.

And you don't get to judge. None of your business.

It’s not misogynistic to point out that someone is an unpleasant person and has behaved badly

How do you know they are an "unpleasant person". Do yo know either of them personally?

And bad behaviour is in the eye of the judgey beholder.

And it is sexist when you are only criticising the woman in the affair. Why does the man get a free pass? They are both married, not just her.

Seriously some people here are just bored and looking for a reaction. If you sneak around, lie to your partner, snog your married lover at work then it's not a stretch to say that person is deceitful and not particularly kind.

it's not a stretch to say that person is deceitful and not particularly kind

Assuming you don’t know all of the parties personally, then yes it is a stretch. You don’t know the dynamics of any of the relationships which is why people have resorted to making nasty comments about one party only.

Not terribly kind, eh

I'm making comments about both Matt and Gina. We don't know anything about their marriages, maybe Martha and Oliver knew all about the office snogging and they're fine with it.

However, experience would suggest this often is not the case, as many, many hurt people would testify.

I agree but why call her “that Gina woman” and comment on her looks?

None of us knows what went on behind closed doors. Perhaps their spouses were absolute angels. Perhaps not. The DM just put it out there for people to froth over.

I have said it before - unless you know them personally or were directly affected by their behaviour then it isn't anything to do with you. And the vitriol against someone for their looks is definitely "unkind"

Why you’d leave her for that I’ll never know

That? Not a very KIND way of referring to another human being...

Hardly ruined their children's lives, bloody hell. I bet all the children trying to flee Afghanistan are thinking, "at least we aren't in Matt Hancock's kid's position" 🙄

You must have very little going on in your life to be so bothered by them.

Get a life, OP. The manic energy is pouring out of your posts.

Post a picture of yourself so we can see how rough and haggard you are.

That Gina woman 🤣🤣
She no better than she ought to be!!!
I've no idea what that means but it was said often by my nan and neighbours when they were having a bich about someone ( think of Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough as Ada and Cissie!!)

She no better than she ought to be!!!

My granny always said this about any woman who she deemed to be 'fast'. Behaviour that to her eyes was fast was holding hands with a man in public, wearing a skirt 1cm above the knee, having a drink in a pub

Anyone who gets 'outraged' reading the Daily Mail, needs to realise that you are their prime target. You have absolutely no idea about what Gina or Matt have had going on behind closed doors. As far as I can tell relationships don't tend to end neatly. Who knows what their reasons were. Perhaps consider that being morally outraged over someone's private life is really not a good look.

And I’ll probably get flamed for this but I don’t care. I can’t get over how rough and haggard Gina she is. His wife is gorgeous. Why you’d leave her for that I’ll never know.
Seriously OP, wind your neck in now, you're being objectionable and highly misogynistic

Only on MN would people think it is anything other than truly awful that EITHER parent would put themselves in a position that they have to wake their children to tell them they are leaving the family home having been unfaithful to their other parent and them, AND it will be in the papers tomorrow 🙄

I have zero interest in his marriage BUT I do think this is awful for his young children and hers.

As for the comparison with Afghanistani children🤦‍♀️🙄

Actually no - only on MN do people get so emotionally triggered by random people having affairs even though it doesn’t affect them.

Hancock is way worse than Gina. They are equally culpable in their personal lives, but at least she is just a random woman accountable only to herself and her family. He stood there week in week out like a pious head boy, getting paid handsomely to tell us all what we should and shouldn't do, who we should and shouldnt see, while doing exactly what he pleased in his own life. Not to mention allowing a distraction in his work life at a time when he should have been focused on the most responsible task of his career. Gina's affair is essentially a private matter and no concern of mine. Hancock's, not so much.

I actually feel really disappointed in Hancock. I know he’s a prat and was pretty incompetent most of the time, but I always felt that he meant well even if it didn’t always go the way he intended it to. I even felt sorry for him at times. Now he just seems a bit corrupt and sleazy. I doubt this is the only affair he’s had and I agree that he’ll probably do it again.

Anyway I think Gina sees him as a project. Wasn’t she advising him on how he should dress and carry himself during his leadership campaign?

More bothered that Johnson is on holiday when people who are British citizens or British supporters have their lives at risk in Afghanistan and that that Rabb man refused to break his holiday to help them when they needed it.

I wonder if those of you defending them both with ‘you don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors’ nonsense still feel like that after reading this story. He’s broken her heart.

Family friend cashing in on their misery in the daily Mail. Nice.

More like the ‘family friend’ is actually Martha herself or someone speaking on her behalf. The story originally appeared in the Telegraph and has been picked up by other news outlets.

They're awful, awful human beings. Massively give me the Ick

Oh stop.

Are you the 'family friend' in the daily mail 'He is a despicable man' article?

@HemanOrSheRa are you saying that he’s not a despicable man then? And no I’m not the person in that article!
