Pursue a new strategy.

Am I really behind the curve in only just getting this?

Herd immunity in kids. Let it rip now.

Hancock would never have let that happen. I can’t stand the man and am not anti this herd immunity approach with some natural infection, especially among kids.

But is that why the sudden revelations were choreographed?

We’re the released or choreographed?

Who gave them to the press?

Wheresmybiscuit3 · 02/07/2021 19:10

I wouldn’t be surprised to be honest. It was definitely to cover up something

What he does to mess up his life is his decision, however the real question is who planted the bug ?

Russians, Chinese, disgruntled staff.

It already was left to Rip via the kids...so no, don't think it's that. Plus BJ wasn't going to sack MH

Yes, you're behind the curve. The moment the "health minister" started talking about the economy it was obvious. Plus it means the cameras can be removed so no chance that anyone might see/hear any discussions on selling off even more of the NHS.

This has been the strategy for a very long time. None of the vaccines are licensed for under 12’s and the date(s) to lift all restrictions have been made with this knowledge. What else could the outcome be?

SonnetForSpring · 02/07/2021 20:41

That's a bit elaborate. I feel the simplest explanation is just that Hancock is a cock.

nordica · 02/07/2021 20:44

The most confusing aspect about the footage is how come they are standing perfectly in the centre of the camera view? I imagine he doesn't have the tiniest office so it seems a bit too much of a coincidence, almost like the whole thing is staged.

hopeishere · 02/07/2021 20:48

I think it looks staged too. The OTT look outside the door. And proper fifth form snogging technique as well.

IndigoC · 02/07/2021 20:50

The release had the ERG’s fingerprints all over it. Clear they wanted “dove” Hancock out.

mysterymile · 02/07/2021 20:56

I've never seen anything as staged as that footage tbh.

It was so staged. It’s all so unbelievable.

Are they investigating who filmed it, how that happened? It seems to have been conveniently forgotten.

Are you saying she set him up because they wanted to replace him?

Dustyboots · 02/07/2021 22:07

I wonder if this sudden revelation happened because they did want to replace him - so as to follow a different Covid route and he was too resistant.

It’s a set up in some way. She’s a likely one. Sometimes I’ve wondered if he set himself up or was complicit in some way. But why?

This.

Nah, it was released to take the heat off the Gove story.

Dustyboots · 02/07/2021 22:30

What Gove divorcing his wife - or the other way round? Why does that need the heat taking off it?

It's not really very interesting, is it?

OP posts:
sashagabadon · 02/07/2021 22:41

Yes I do think the timing release is to change strategy, Although I do think he is/ was having an affair, but I think it’s been very useful politically to change the messaging.
I personally don’t think it’s to cover up Gove because that story is going to happen regardless. It’s been delayed by a week although I am sure Gove is praying for an England win on Saturday to keep him off the front pages on Sunday.

Against the door to be alerted if anyone tried to open it.
MercyBooth · 03/07/2021 01:01

Still doesnt change the fact that he is a hypocrite for doing that while telling the plebs public they couldnt hug family or friends. And the affair has been going on for a long time IMO.

SleepingStandingUp · 03/07/2021 01:06

Wasn't the affair basically an open secret so unless she's playing a long game r| replacing him, I'd say the affair is genuine but it was filmed so they could use it when they wanted. Agree with Hands, snog against the door then if anyone opens it, they bang into you and don't see it. The elaborate looking outside is part of the oohhh were so naughty thrill of the affair surely.

HandsSpaceArse · 03/07/2021 02:03

Can anyone PM me what that story is about Gove?

Nat6999 · 03/07/2021 02:30

Michael Gove & his wife are separating, you can bet that they have pushed Matt Hancock under the bus to keep the heat off Michael Gove, it makes me wonder if there is a juicier story about that marriage breaking up.

ElephantMoth · 03/07/2021 02:46

They have not lived together over a year, I think they are all deserting a sinking ship, hiding of assets before the investigation starts on the contracts etc?
