So how do you have a socially distanced affair?

Apparently no covid laws/guidance were broken. What kind of bubble does it fall under?

Slimy shit head. It’s appalling

I knew I shouldn't have watched the video ! My eyes !

She didn't look into it did she? But she went towards him. Almost like she's setting him up but I can't see the motivation.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 26/06/2021 06:41

The video looks like an awkward school disco. I have no idea how he's managed to pull her. I love how he's emphasising he's sorry he broke social distancing GUIDELINES not rules. No apology to his wife though.

A few weeks ago we had a visit from 2 police officers to question our son as it had been reported that he had been seen in our local supermarket without a mask on. Fair enough, he had broken the rules. But the person making the rules was breaking them without impunity.

My 78 year old widowed mother spent Christmas Day alone as we complied with the rules. I didn't see her for several months as its a 90 minute journey and the weather was too vile for me to sit in her garden. When I did finally see her I couldn't hug her.

Matt Hancock needs to resign. But he won't.

It's a set up to get rid of Hancock for this instead of admitting he has done a shit job as health secretary.
The only question is whether Hancock was told he was going and this would be his way out or whether they set him up and the aide was paid to trap him

She’s a millionaire, I can’t see her being financially motivated to do that.

I feel really disappointed in him. In the middle of all this shitshow I thought he genuinely was trying his best (even if not very good at it). He has a job I wouldn't do for all the money in the world.

I don't care what he does in his personal life. I care very much that he was telling us what to do and what not to do and then ignoring the rules. I'm tired of the rich and elite doing what they want and expecting us all to do as we're told.

I think Gina needs to take a drive to Barnard Castle to test her eyesight

She is equally to blame. Her hubby must be devastated. All the kids involved will be teased/bullied mercilessly at school.

the80sweregreat · 26/06/2021 17:09

Gina's husband looks nice as well.
I've never heard of him or Oliver Bonus ( sp) ( or whatever the shop is called ) or her before now.
He must feel just as awful as Martha and Hancock's kids and his kids too.
Especially as the whole thing is just a laughing stock on social media etc.
it's all really horrible for them :(

Yes, awful for the poor spouses and for the kids. Hancock really has shafted everyone - the public, the health service, his colleagues and his family.

Ahem. Just parking for amusement.

ps: I'm now catching up on all their clips. Grin

JonathanRipples · 26/06/2021 18:18

Looks like he's resigned 😑

NeverFull · 26/06/2021 18:26

He told Martha on Thursday evening that he was having an affair and leaving her. She had no idea.

Prat!!

While we were being psychologically abused over wanting to visit in someone elses house for Christmas.

And all the bait and switch its on again off again on again off again over it and told we were being selfish.

Absolute cunts. They all knew. Well i went to my parents on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Just a 20 min walk away. Luckily i could take advantage of the new support bubble rule which came in that month but DB couldnt He is incredibly angry. Especially as DM is now deteriarating physically.

Good luck with engineering another Christmas lockdown Tory AND Labour cunts. Cos you will need it....

Apparently he woke up his 8 year old to say he was leaving

Where is the info that it was know about at Christmas, I haven't seen that?

Blimey, where do you live that the police has enough spare resource to do that?!

thebeachismyhappyplace2 · 27/06/2021 07:36

Apparently they are serious about each other and planning on setting up home together. Even though it’s being claimed the affair has only been going on for 6 weeks! Feel so sorry for their families. Can’t see how they think their relationship is going to survive after that video has been leaked and the constant hounding of the media.
