Boy George is a more terrible person than Matt Hancock and I'm sick of people pretending he isn't

[CallMeNutribullet]

Why does he get a pass for his brutal, clearly sexually motivated crime (he threatened the guy with whips and sex toys) and still have a career?

I'm so irritated I'm having to sound like I'm defending Hancock, a corrupt, inept Tory who cheated on his wife. He personifies everything wrong with Johnston's cabinet, but no he didn't kill thousands, Covid did. The decision to return vulnerable people from hospital to care homes was a terrible one, but we did the exact same thing in Scotland. He isn't a sex offender.

If Boy George had chained up a female sex worker and beat her with an iron bar and threatened to rape her with sex toys he wouldn't have ever had the opportunity to be on TV again.

He didn't serve enough time. Also if you are his friend, remind him people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Boy George is a convicted criminal and seemed to have a lenient sentence and we should not forget this.

Matt Hancock should be facing criminal proceedings along with Boris Johnson, on several charges including corporate manslaughter.

If he has been clean for 14 years doesn't that mean je was clean when he offended? That takes us back to 2008?

Was he not also found guilty of falsely claiming he had been burgled ? Think it was in America .

@PinkTonic I don't think he is lovely, I know that he is.
He is a great brother, son, uncle and friend. My parents are elderly, in their 80s and George helps them out. As he does his mum (85). He works tirelessly with drug addicts. He has been a mentor to his many nieces and nephews and does what he can for our kids. He Sponsors and attends events at their schools and offers to mentor young people. He's arranged apprenticeships for many of my friends' children.
He is living a decent, clean and sober life.

good, I hope his victim will be glad for him. He’s still coming over like a twat.

also, has he got his people on the case? It’s like a BG appreciation tag team on here over the past couple of days. So obvious and tedious.

Well maybe he could be nicer to his camp mates ?

Hes not coming across as very lovely though.

Yeah the Krays loved their mum too.

He was the only one being a twat to his team mates, Shaun was making a joke of his balls not being picked whilst BJ was actually complaining.
And the snide comment about MH still having to be MH. From someone who was once a convicted criminal and is now a “different” BJ. He’s not nice.

Im not a Boy George fan but the clip i saw of him being quizzed i thought he handled fine, of course he was going to look displeased, who would want it talking about. But he answered what was asked of him, he said :thanks.for bringing it up" but continued to engage.
Noone jumped in and stopped it, nor should they have, he did fine.

Also if we are talking about criminals, Ant is another one, could have killed any number of people with his horrendous drink/drug driving. Still there winning his awards and presenting the show

Both equally horrible IMO.
’So why did you break your own guidance?’
i hope they are each donating their exorbitant fees to their victims.

He attends events at schools? How does he have an enhanced DBS with his criminal record? That’s absolutely disgusting he is allowed to do that.

You don't need a DBS to attend events in schools. Only if you work unaccompanied with children.

The thing that I find annoying is his hypocrisy, MH doesn't make snide comments about what BG did, doesn't moan behind his back. I'm perfectly happy for BG to have a clean slate in the camp but he then has to be happy about that for other people. If he's going to judge them then I feel fine about judging him.

I've said this several times but also his disregard for his other camp mates when they are sleeping. Why does he need to make such a spectacle of his chanting particularly when people are sleeping? He seems totally unaware of how his behaviour affects others. I wish someone would tell him, I would.

If he's mentoring children he might well be working one to one.

He is not coming across a lovely person in the jungle. Far from it. Sneering, spiteful, self absorbed and centre of attention behaviour is what I see. I’m sure he is generous with his family and close friends. Hopefully he will be donating his exorbitant fee to an addiction charity.

I suppose BG has completed a prison sentence for what he did, however, so everyone is entitled to be given a second chance, as long as they are remorseful. Nonetheless, he doesn’t seem to be a very nice person.

I honestly want someone to tell me what else the government should have done re care homes. They were expecting a flood of covid patients into hospital - hospitals had a lot of elderly care home patients in who could be discharged. Most care home patients are already ill long term which is why they are in care homes.

You have 100 beds available and 100 chronically ill long term patients who could be moved on as well as 100+ covid patients who stand a good chance of making a full recovery if treated.

The sensible and logical thing to do was move the care home patients back to care homes to free the beds for the acute covid patients. There was no were else to send them back to other than their care homes.

It would have been as equal a tragedy if not worse if covid patients had been dying because beds were blocked by care home patients.

Hard decisions had to be made in a hurry. Scotland and Wales did exactly the same thing so it was not only Hancock - in fact many other countries also did similar.

Not sure he's remorseful either, as he seemed to be saying that he hadn't done what he was jailed for.

Exactly this 👏

I am confused about whether people hate Matt Hancock because he had an affair, because of the way he handled the pandemic or because he's a Tory.

The comments about killing thousands are ridiculous - Covid killed thousands.

Indeed,it was a pandemic ,yes in hindsight there were some terrible devisons made ,as there were across the world , unlees each and everyone of us stayed in our homes 24/7 untill ,vaccines and treatment were available ,then the virus was goiing to spread ,it was a terrible time but the deaths were due to Covid .,

Non of its clear is it , some peoole hate him because they think we didnt lockdown soon enough ,some people think we should never have locked down, i understand if you had a dying relative ,it must have been horrendous not to see them ,but they couldnt risk visitors bringing Covid into hospital with already vulnerable patients we didnt have testing in the beginning ,it was a no win situation

Because he's a man without conviction

Totally agree , MH said he wants forgiveness, vote for him tonight and that will shock the camp , him not leaving on first nighy
