To think Matt Hancock should have been voted off

[Wtactualfuck]

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?

Well said 👏

Should people whose actions offend some, be banned, censored or excluded from appearing on to in these sort of shows?
Should all those appearing undergo rigorous background checks to exclude criminal activity, morality infarctions and attracting the oppibrum of the LoudShouters.
I understand Hancock was picked for all the least pleasant challenges by the Great British Public. Gawd bless ‘em.

On the other hand, a politician being Up for It, knowing he will get a lot of grief, in an age where politicians have been murdered, stabbed and “they are all corrupt and in it for themselves, innit?” -

my husband couldn’t be with his dad when he died because of the rules. Or have a wake after his funeral. I’ll never forget or forgive that. And to be more bothered about someone getting the age of a child who died alone wrong; than the actual fact that a child died alone....words fail me.

Not really sure how you can blame that on him?

The trial Mr Hancock should be undergoing is in a court of law. Corruption, corporate manslaughter, misconduct in a public office.

Not that he should be the only one in the dock.

Given the public inquiry into covid has yet to take place I think it’s pretty grim he’s there at all (and publishing a book). Once that’s done, sure he’s got every right to go on every dire reality show he likes, but while there are still serious questions to answer over his role and culpability in the death of thousands parading himself on national tv leaves a bad taste, and I’m sure other individuals under similar investigations wouldn’t get the gig.

As for the ‘people are voting to annoy the woke/left’, just why? Can’t get my head around people doing something for the sole motivation of annoying others, weird.

It’s awful that ppl on thread are being pedantic about the age of a child dying alone in some sort of attempt to shore up their support for an ex minister who cheated on his wife, left his three kids, oversaw the corrupt PPE contracts, and was responsible for the policy to move infected Covid patients into care homes, causing unnecessary deaths in the most vulnerable in society.

I’ve not seen an intelligent reasoned argument in his favour. Just ppl wanting to stick it to the woke, which is divisive and depressingly banal.

Only judge him on that...

Says only by someone not effected by his actions.

As someone whose life has been destroyed by long covid (April 2020 and counting...) I find this deeply offensive.

I am not a fan of the man, but I would say this kind of statement is what is pushing people to vote for him. He didn’t cause covid. The narrative on him being on the show has become hysteric.

The reaction of most of the camp mates has helped him in the same way.

Every single person on the show is there for self-serving reasons.
He’s not the only one.

@DrMarciaFieldstone Yes but not every single person on the show was responsible for government health policy in the height of a pandemic which claimed thousands of lives needlessly.

As someone upthread said already. Should there have been no restricitions?

Going to get attacked for this but hey ho here we go...

No matter who was health Secretary those covid rules would've been brought in and broken by people. If he never broke the rules all those people who horrendously tragically died alone would still have died alone. Covid was horrendous!! My anger lies with covid itself not the absolute idiots who had to implement rules advised to them by scientists and WHO.

If I was a camp mate I would much rather MH over a person who was convicted and served time in prison for fasley imprisoning a person. Everyone has a past but I would not feel safe being near BG, especially after his blasé "well I pleaded guilty but there was no photos so did it really happen" comments about it! Ew!!!!

As a contestant matt has provided entertainment, done and won trials, with very little complaining, just got stuck in. Why shouldn't he be there?

Like I said at the beginning, I'm sure lots of people won't be happy with what I've said. I won't be responding to people attacking about my opinion!!

I had a relative that died in hospital in August 2020. There were no guidelines that prevented visiting, other patients had some restrictions, but my relative who was known to be dying was always allowed visitors. Strange that this large city centre hospital did not know these “guidelines” or perhaps they are just not being accurately recalled.

Well that’s the point of voting. The op might think he should have been voted off but more disagree so he’s still in, that’s how it goes with those shows

It didn’t happen in August 2020, it was April 2020.

People are voting based on how he's been on the show not his background. Boy George stayed in for a while despite being a convicted criminal who's served time for a violent crime.

did he concoct covid?
was it his doing?
er no
but those that blame him will not listen

and whitehall are apparently getting rid of those cameras that they used to get rid of him

The cameras that caught him breaking the guidelines and showing his wife and three kids he was cheating?

Jolly good.

is he the only person who has ever cheated?
i am gobsmacked

As the celebs in there have said, they've had to separate "Matt Hancock" with "Matt" and I think they're right. He's on an entertainment programme. He's been very entertaining

most of the celebs who are gone have been bitching, this is why they are gone predominantly
although baba and sean didnt bitch

"Why shouldn't he be there?"

Because he's a bloody MP, with a job. He should be working for his constituency.

so would it have been better not to move the elderly out quickly, to free up the hospital?

Yup that’s about the level of reasoned debate I’d expect.
