The Matt Hancock File

[Karl Masks]

Hancock is a psychopath

 

[elbows]

Regardlss of Hancocks particular spin and his personality, the stuff he says is basic stuff that most people within the establishment, if placed in a similar position, would have been capable of thinking and writing in their diaries at the time.

I havent paid attention to the Daily Mail extracts except that one of the first ones involved him going on about Whitty telling him and others, back in January 2020, that a reasonable planning scenario involved 820,000 deaths. This is an entirely unsurprising number to have floating around within government at the time, since back then they hadnt got many covid-specific calculations, and were operating using the standard pandemic influenza plans. And those plans had a 820,000 deaths figure in them for years before this coronavirus pandemic arrived.

BBC reporting that Hancock will stand down at next GE.

He has “discovered a whole new world of possibilities which I am excited to explore”.

Hopefully, to mention but a few, involving revolvers, poisons, ropes.

 

[Rob Ray]

he was quitting anyway, because he had realised he did not need to be in parliament “to influence the public debate”.

They'd better not give him a half-hour show.

Something about the banality of evil there

Nice work.

More likely Strictly and celebrity bake off..

And a job in a care home?

 

[mwgdrwg]

More like he's “discovered a whole new world of paydays which I am excited to explore”.

 

[teqniq]

Ah, there we are then, the real reason for his departure:

Matt Hancock's constituency ruled he was 'not fit' to represent them before he stood down

A letter from the Tory MP's constituency chairman, sent before Mr Hancock announced he was quitting, said his local party had lost confidence in him over his appearance on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

His letter is hilarious

Quoting myself here but fuck it:

You meansome of that sweet filthy face-of endorsement lucre?

Petcha

I didn’t laugh.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I look forward to exploring new ways to communicate with people of all ages and from all backgrounds

He's going to try rapping isn't he?

 

[Sue]

He's going to try rapping isn't he?

Maybe he's planning on moving to the jungle permanently.

 

[ruffneck23]

The letter.

 

[Tanya1982]

'...by virtue of recent events'. How recent do they mean? It's hardly just the events of the last few weeks that make him unfit.

These are Tories. They think it’s the stint in the Jungle that’s the problem. Whereas most of us were relieved he was somewhere he couldn’t do much damage.

 

[teqniq]

What a shitshow. To think we are still governed by people of this ilk. Even his PR guy doesn't believe in him, really. Hit them all up with serial corruption charges please. /rant

Cunt has become the go to insult on Urban, which leaves little headspace when you want to ramp things up. I think we need a wholesale devaluation of our insults. In the case of hancock, I'd then quickly run through from 'he's a thoroughly bad type', up to the mid range 'he's a bit of a shit' and quickly on to the point where I still need to call him a 'cunt'. The difference would be the audible gasps met by this foul mouthed outburst. Trouble is, even in this reset of insults, calling him a cunt still wouldn't be enough. He breaches every profanity scale there is and tends towards the infinite on every measure of vilification. The cunt.

More for the Hancock file, from Popbitch:

"Matt Hancock is a shitty tipper. He left his server a £5 tip on a £300 bill in a swanky London hotel bar. In addition, the staff had to watch him groping his girlfriend all evening."

 

[brogdale]

That must be written like that jus to get the publicity?

 

[brogdale]

Sounds like someone deserves a reward...

 

[brogdale]

Was it Bridgen?

 

[GarveyLives]

The British Transport Police have stated: 'We received a report of a man being assaulted and harassed at Westminster Underground station at 8.47am yesterday morning.

'A 61-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of common assault and a public order offence and remains in custody. Enquiries into the incident are ongoing.'

 

[Karl Masks]

The guy's obviously a crank, but I've no sympathy for Hancock in this at all.

Yep; also feel sorry for the poor TfL worker who stepped in to defuse.
