How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside3 -

The bride and groom and everyone else it seems were blackout drunk. I didn't know the couple, it was a wedding reception that had been at my local while I was there; as the night wound down they'd ended up in the main bar and then all this happened.BigRich said:

He wants to keep us masked and locked up, regardless of what the data says.
Any last vestiges of sympathy I had for him - and a year ago I was prepared to cut him quite a bit of slack, poor hardworking bugger feeling his way through a crisis without precedent in his lifetime - evaporated then.
Meanwhile, thousands of little lives are made just that bit poorer - a cancelled trip here, a family not seen there, a restricted wedding, a pub's takings lost - because he is addicted to the power he wields.
He wanted to keep us locked up forever.
He deserves this kicking. And then another kicking. And another one after that. Kick him, and kick him, and kick him again until he goes away. And then send people round to kick him periodically to show him that we haven't forgotten.1 -

Finding this all a bit distasteful. I don't want the Press poking around in people's private lives. Not politicians, footballers, TV folk nor anyone else.
The danger is this becomes "Hancock goes cos of sex scandal". Not "because of blatantly disregarding guidelines he helped draw up."
If the former impression takes hold, it will be open season on everyone else.
And I thought we were moving away from that kind of intrusive prurience.
For that reason he needs to be sacked. And it needs to be very firmly emphasised why.4 -
But they do it because people buy it.Jonathan said:The Sun and the Daily Mail trying to assert some moral authority is one of the most sickening sights,
Remember the Private Eye Diana cover;
"The papers are a disgrace."
"Yes, I couldn't get one anywhere."
At a human level, MH needs to just go and do a Profumo; rebuild his life by quietly doing good somewhere.
But politically... If he goes now, it establishes a level of media ordure that gets a minister out. And the government can't risk that.
If you make a promise/threat like Boris's "I don't give in to media pressure", you have to follow through no matter what- or you're done for.2 -

I was tying to charm a girl at Uni, for a few weeks, one night at about 2AM or something she suggested that we go skinny dipping, which we did in river going though the main park in the city, it was a butifull night, and then I asked something like 'will you be my girlfriend?' she sead not now, then got all strange and we whet back to our accommodation, about 3 or 4 days later, she came out publicly as Lesbian.

I’m not sure there is hypocrisy angle. We are not really in a lock down anymore like we were, so to bring up all the rule keeping suffering from proper lockdowns as comparison does not apply.

If you want to impose authoritarian rules that effectively make new relationships forbidden, including at a point on time when the most vulnerable are vaccinated, it is pretty predictable that you will end up making a mockery of the law.
For the Health Secretary to then ignore the government's own rules by having an affair in the office on camera shows an impressive amount of contempt for everyone else
I know we are in a pandemic but rules should be defendable and followed by those in charge. If the rules are not viable to follow in practice, maybe they should have thought of that before making them.4 -

The bottom line is simple. We have to respect the sanctity of marriage, especially as best for child rearing, otherwise it will result in chaos, very much anarchy in the UK. If Hancock doesn’t resolve this conflict in his private life the whole fabric of society will break apart.0 -

I am disappointed by people who have affairs because it shows they are prepared to betray their other halves. I believe that the right of retribution lies with those other halves if it comes to light - and hence would not call for Hancock to go if these were normal times.
These are not normal times however. Hancock made rules for us to follow and has required people to resign for breaking them. He - and the government - have no right to expect others to follow those rules if he does not. This is weapons grade hypocrisy and he must resign. If he doesn't then he must be sacked. I'm pretty sure Boris realises this but is hoping that events will save him from making that decision. He may be a lucky general, but not this time.4 -

His behaviour won't be defended, I'm sure.

If Hancock had resigned this morning then I think the government would have escaped unscathed. Because he didn't this could move the public from positive support for the good vaccine programme to negative support due to his hypocrisy.

I’m not sure there is hypocrisy angle. We are not really in a lock down anymore like we were, so to bring up all the rule keeping suffering from proper lockdowns as comparison does not apply. If the lady her family or friends gained from public procurements that doesn’t apply either, because this is not like the Profumo affair, or the sordid office liaisons by Prescott and other Labour politicians, this is a proper love affair between friends who are very close.Cookie said:
I've just watched it (why?!) Have to say I agree with you really.gealbhan said:
It’s a lovely video. They are clearly in love. It’s heartening to see them both smiling with all the pressure they both must have been under in the grim Covid fight.Floater said:Daily Mail
Pressure grows on Boris Johnson to sack Matt Hancock as 60-seconds long footage of the scandal-hit Health Secretary's clinch with a married aide emerged tonight, with one Tory MP warning 'If the public want him out then he could be gone by Monday'
IF IF IF????
Bye Hancock!!!
I stand by what I said earlier about the kicking though. Because of what @dixiedean said - blatantly disregarding guidelines he helped raw up. And enforced with menaces. And because the guidelines are so wildly over-the-top and have caused such misery.
Thomas Hardy said he did not believe in marriage because people can naturally be very much in love with more than one person at a time. Unfortunately The Conservative Party has to believe in support for marriage and costs for adultery, so Hancock should be forced out to protect the sanctity of marriage.1 -
It is, on the on the other hand one in four to eight Conservative voters - which is quite a lot.ExiledInScotland said:
If Hancock had resigned this morning then I think the government would have escaped unscathed. Because he didn't this could move the public from positive support for the good vaccine programme to negative support due to his hypocrisy. I wouldn't be surprised by a 5-10% change over the next month. After all that's only 1 or 2 people in 20 noticing this and changing their current voting position.Cookie said:
Horse, the last three boards have been full of Tories, ex-Tories and the broadly right wing calling for his head. (As well as lefties, natch). Noone has defended him.CorrectHorseBattery said:If the polls don't narrow I no longer have confidence in my fellow people to see right from wrong.
I am sure some will find a way to defend Hancock's behaviour or somehow make it a Labour issue, I hope nobody here is the same.
How this translates into votes, I don't know. I mean, I lost any incilination to vote for the Tories 9 months ago, but I'm certainly not coming over to Labour because of this because they've supported every one of his pettifogging measures. I daresay for some this straw will be the last one though.0 -
AIUI EU mobile phone networks can charge UK phone networks because we have left the EU. UK mobile networks are responding by recovering some of those costs, but in different ways. EE (BT) are bringing back roaming charges to provide income to "support investment into our UK based customer service and leading UK network". 02 are adding a "fair use" data cap of 25GB a month and will not charge customers more to use their phones in the EU. 3 haven't announced charges yet. If 3 hold the line then the other networks may reverse their change to avoid losing UK customers. We will see.CorrectHorseBattery said:I'm off to bed but I would like to register my total lack of surprise at the reintroduction of roaming charges, despite many insisting it would never happen, it was obvious it would. Another Brexit dividend.
