To think Matt Hancock should have been voted off

He broke the covid rules he helped put in place. He cheated on his wife and left his children for the OW. Why the actual fuck are people voting for this Tory to stay?

@user164865329

but a 13 year old has died, alone! Forget the incorrect age of a 4 or 5 year old then, but a child still has died, alone! Alone because of the rules!

Or doesn’t the 13 year old child matter? Or all the others who died alone because of the rules / guidelines?

Unless mistaken the rules were set via scientists ect to the politicians ?

Icecreamandapplepie · 27/11/2022 00:22

Bloody hell. Someone is trying to quibble about the age of child who died alone?

Let people feel upset about that.

You'd have to be a monster to want to argue with someone upset about that.

If you don't agree with its relevance here, just ignore.

Yes OP all these people on here giving advice to women about LTB how appalling these men are, telling women to get away from them, raise their standards etc
Then vote for them to be crowned a king- hypercrites much

🤣🤣🤣

@tiggergoesbounce

very disgusting person indeed!

I bet he’s only on it for promoting this book he’s releasing about the lockdown. It’s obviously all an act and everyone has fallen for it! He never cared about us (the public), only about himself, and that’s how it will always be. He’ll be a lot richer now thanks to the ones who have been brainwashed by him!

@Hawkins001

didn’t he admit on I’m a Celeb that he only broke his own “guidelines” when he was challenged? Please don’t quote me on that though because I’m know to make minor mistakes!! But I’m pretty sure that’s what was said.

blibblibs · 27/11/2022 00:30

So the reason people are voting for him to stay, possibly win, is to wind up the woke crowd? 🤯
That has to be the most dumb ass thing ever but like a PP said we've had Tories for 12 years and Brexit so plenty of stupid to go round.

www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jun/25/follow-the-rules-what-matt-hancock-told-us-and-what-he-did

an interesting article to remind people of what Matt Hancock himself was telling us to do!

Mummieslncorporated · 27/11/2022 00:33

It wouldn't surprise me if he won. Not because I think he should - but because every year we see the funny and entertaining or interesting people get voted off, and bland, uninteresting people in the final three.

I look at the list of winners, and there's only a handful that I remember even being in the show. That's a reason they always have the cyclone in the final. It's because they need to have someone vaguely entertaining because the people left often aren't.

LikeTearsInRain · 27/11/2022 00:33

Nope

tiggergoesbounce · 27/11/2022 00:38

@Gem123J well considering he is in a (currently) corrupt party that has millionaire donors who run the media he was never going to be eliminated early on, they couldn't cope with tje shame..he done a good job on a minority of the public so im thinking he will be sitting pretty when he gets out either way. He will be well rewarded by his cronnies.

Alot of the Tory votes we know despise him as they see its more than a party thing, its him as an individual whos vile.

I mean, you cant have morals and vote for him, i feel really sorry for his kids and having those images of their dad splashed everywhere 🤢

That's understandable, I'm similar with my information, sometimes it's guesses and inferences.

LongLostTeacher · 27/11/2022 00:49

The world has gone mad.

How can this man, who was in such a position of power and authority during the worst crisis in most of this countries living memory, be off having shits and giggles in a stupid, vapid program.

Nurses and teachers are striking in the aftermath of covid and this man is having a great laugh and I guess still earning an MPs salary for doing this. And people think it’s a o fucking kay.

We are fucked.

LongLostTeacher · 27/11/2022 00:52

And this vote is 50/50.

LBFseBrom · 27/11/2022 01:19

Matt Hancock has shown a different side to him in the jungle which is very good indeed. We should only judge him on that. Everybody has a past.

If people feel so strongly that he should be out, they are at liberty to vote a few times for others,

I think Jill will win and then it will all be irrelevant.

So what are people saying, because I’m confused…

That we shouldn’t have had any restrictions/lockdown?

RobertaFirmino · 27/11/2022 01:31

Can't stand the man. I'm a big red lefty and would much rather be 'woke' than a dozy fucker. People may well be voting for MH to piss people like me off but all it's actually doing is making me laugh at their stupidity.

A big red lefty laughing at people’s stupidity… Shocking 🤣

Joyfuljolly · 27/11/2022 01:42

I don’t watch it and don’t vote, but I don’t really agree matt Hancock is personally to blame for covid or long covid. Yes he cheated on his wife and was caught snogging his current partner during the pandemic, but he didn’t cause covid.

Florenz · 27/11/2022 01:46

If we had an elected head of state instead of the monarchy, the same people who vote on IACGMOOH would be voting for that as well.

@PicturesOfDogs Once I would have bitten but time has taught me that there's no point entering into a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

Then arm yourself!

Why would I need to arm myself if I'm not entering into battle? There's no point in overspending on defence now, is there?

If you were never planning on entering a battle, why post about your lack of arms? 🤔

MsMcGonagall · 26/11/2022 22:54

I'd clarify - I'm not voting for him. but I see that people are doing a "one in the eye" type vote

I think that is why we are in the sorry mess of Brexit as well. A knee jerk “one in the eye” mentality. Depressing that ppl can’t see beyond that.
