Matt Hancock

[idler]

I never liked Boy George and ignoring him didn’t do me any harm.
I never liked Matt Hancock but despite ignoring him he has affected my life.
Is there any comparison?

He might be a t**t of a politician, but he otherwise comes across as a decent human being, which can't be said of all the contestants he's competing with out there in the jungle.


.... Or on this forum for that matter.

Try telling his wife & kids that after he was caught on camera kissing & groping another woman’s arse.

Or is that the measure you use when describing someone as “…a decent human being…”?

You don't have to be a Tory to have an affair, just like you don't have to be a Tory to serve a prison sentence after being convicted of assault and false imprisonment.

You only have to be a Tory to get your transgressions aired by certain people on this forum!

He knows his political career will end at the next election.
He’s only 44. (He looks older).
He has 2 households to support.
He has to find a means of funding those households.

I doubt many organisations will be asking him to ‘advise’ them on a paid basis due to the Covid taint.
What better way to reinvent yourself than on a Primetime TV programme where you can show the ‘human’ side of yourself?

His ambition is to earn a good living in TV and getting people to like you is key to that. Of course he’s going to eat kangaroo b*llocks with good humour. Of course he’s going to show humility. Of course he’s going to say ‘I got the big decisions right’.

He’s basically doing a job interview on Prime Time tv.

sensible reasoning MN

[phil old leake]

MN it worked for E Balls when he lost his seat.  He’s never looked back

[ravenrover]

Ed Balls never oversaw the death of 1000's

[mugnapper]

I always think of Michael Portillo endlessly travelling the world on a train in a fedora and crushed strawberry corduroy trousers in situations like this.

[i_ateallthepies]

Hancock is nowhere near gifted with the personality presence that Ed Balls and Michael Portillo possess.

[belton rover]

I like Matt Hancock. I was disappointed when he lost his job, although it was inevitable. He has come into the jungle as the pantomime villain but is handling it in a Beckham-esque manner.

Are you pissed?

[belton rover]

Are you pissed?

That’s a bit of an unpleasant and unnecessary question to ask, Knockers.

[belton rover]

Ha ha! It seems the whole country is ‘pissed’

Your opinion is based on the assumption that in the Venn Diagram of The General Public, a representative subsection is the intersection between the groups People Who Enjoy Watching IACGMOOH and People Who Are Capable Of Forming Rational Decision.

I suggest that intersection is actually really small, and that your opinion is influenced by the fact that you personally  are in the even tinier group People Who Think Boris Johnson Isn't a Sociopathic Liar and Should Still Be PM

[Bentley Bullet]

BST, yet after all that I'm capable of knowing that hate-obsessed people are far from capable of forming rational decisions.

Did I make any mention of Tories or politics? You’re the one obsessed with defending any ‘Tory bashing’ to the extent that you ‘see it’ in posts that haven’t!

I was challenging your take on what you referred to as being “a decent human being”.

[BillyStubbsTears]

BB. You poison the discussion by insisting this is about hate. When it's actually about cold, rational assessment of a person who was utterly unfit for the job he aspired to, both in ability and, eventually, in his personal self-control.

Why bring hatred into it? Is it so that you don't have to use your critical faculties? If you assume the people who contradict you are consumed with hate, you don't have to take on their arguments?

That's strange, being accused of poison and hatred by the Harold shipman of the Viking off-topic forum!

Explain to me why you only discredit Matt Hancock and none of the other participants, some of who came over as far worse human beings than him.

I see that request for more reasoned debate has sailed over your head.

Your call. You keep being unpleasant if you want. I'll go back to ignoring you.

[Bentley Bullet]

Debates end with a vote. Seeing as you disregard votes, unless they go your way, why do you insist on getting involved in them?

As for you going back to ignoring me, that's heartbreaking.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Goodness, is that the time? I mean, is it THAT time again?

[Bentley Bullet]

BST.
I think you may have been hacked.

[belton rover]

Yeah. But you keep coming back.

[belton rover]

It’s really good to see that Billy doesn’t lose it any more since pretending to ignore some individuals on here. So good to see him just being a nice chap.
