Matt Hancock's lies

[JohnL]

So is he full of lies. I think he comes across as trying to hard and maybe a little out of his depth sometimes - but not sure he lies on purpose.

Imagine you're in a job and some guy who is the bosses Svengali keeps telling him to sack you - at every meeting.

[Seabag]

If only he?s followed Rory?s advice.

Hancock believes himself, even when he?s tinkered with his story to fit. But his worst trait is his ?I?m saving lives? schtick, that stinks of disingenuous opportunist deflection.

Anyways https://apple.news/A6WTgxm1ASqC4GKOWAaEANQ I still think this guy was the last of the decent ones.

All politicos lie.

Nothing to see here, just move on.

[hammerman]

I don't think Matt is trying too hard.

It's just the people he comes across who say he is doing a bad job. Good for him that he can go for a jog and just get on with the job in hand. He must be thinking what a turncoat is Cummings.

He (Hancock) is a horrible little turd.

And even in amongst a cabinet and government of other turds, he stands out.

Thanks for the toilet language Seabag.

LOL Drip Drip from Cummings who no-one should let into a WhatsApp group ever again.

Hancock must be fuming but he's not showing it.

[Seabag]

Are we in the slightest surprised, with any of it?

NO, not at all.

Dead Ringer?s had Handcock right the other night ?I?m new variant Matt Handcock?

The depressing thing is, it's all 'priced in' with our Vote Leave government. People seem to know and accept that they're dishonest and incompetent, but still prefer them to any of the alternatives. None of it makes any difference

Think it is quite appropriate language, I'd normally argue the other way! Who was saying about polishing a turd - something to do with the Brexit deal?

[Earl Aelfheah]

Turns out he has been lying to his wife too.

[JohnL]

I mean - what would someone want with him.

Any contracts going for me ?

[JohnL]

He's apologised but not going to resign even though he broke COVID rules.

Interesting how different this is from John Major's years - no-one cares he's having an affair (it's his own business) - but everyone cares if he's appointed someone because "she's a mate" or broken COVID rules.

[Sephiroth]

interesting how different this is from when one Matt Hancock was calling for Neil Fergusons resignation for exactly this just last year

[JohnL]

Strange how memories go - I listed Gummer as an example of a scandal but I must have been wrong so deleted it - all I can find is -

"At the Suffolk Boat Show on 16 May 1990, then agriculture secretary John Gummer tried to feed his four-year-old daughter Cordelia a burger.

THE STUNT backfired horribly. Cordelia refused to eat it and the whole incident only heightened concern about BSE and reinforced public cynicism about politicians? pronouncements on food safety."

who sucked the toe - was it Mellor ?

[Sephiroth]

Mellor was the story - but I don't think it was ever a real thing - an concoction by Max Clifford is my recollection

SO he calls for others to go AND apparently be prosecuted (if Sky News are right)

But when it's him an apology will do.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I love the fact that everyone is calling it a private matter. Even though the video is from his offices at 3 in the afternoon on a Thursday. He also hired his 'long term friend' using taxpayers money. He also broke the social distancing rules that it was his role to create and enforce. How is it not about what he was doing in his job exactly?

Mellor in his Chelsea kit also did the rounds.

Fergie (the Royal one) put toe sucking on the map...

I don't think people would've been too bothered back then either, it's just that Major made a big point about 'Back to Basics', which included family values, which was tantamount to giving the press a fully loaded gun...

[intexasatthe moment]

Mmm,and Handcock made a big point of expressing horror and being speechless when Fergusson was caught calling on his girlfriend during the lockdown .
