The issue for him needing to resign isn’t because he had an affair, it’s because he had an affair with a woman he by his own rules that he helped write, was supposed to keep a 2m distance from. The same rules that also prevented women from having their partner at the birth of their baby. The same rules that meant limiting the amount of family members who could go to a funeral and say goodbyes after up to 18 months of not seeing them physically in some instances. The same rules that people have been fined for breaching. That’s the issue for me. Yes it calls into question how much we can really trust someone, who has the capability of cheating on his wife of 15 years but that is a private matter; however under the circumstances it breaches public confidence in his competence as what he has done by breaking the rules tells the public that it is do as I say, but not as I do.
I don’t think he will be sacked or resign, if he does I’ll be truly shocked. In Northern Ireland the deputy first minister along with a string of her colleagues among 2000 others attended the funeral of a terrorist when she had stood in front of the assembly the day previously stating that no more than 30 people were allowed to attend any funerals. She still holds that position, and no one was arrested despite investigations and repeated outcry for her to resign, but it’s not her fault because apparently those who made the rules were “confused” by them. Yet prosecutions and fines for those who breached the same confusing rules weren’t given this same free pass.
If anyone truly trusts the government in any of the four nations that make up the uk, more fool them. They’ve demonstrated time and time again they don’t give a single fuck about anyone, other than themselves.
We need a thread name from one of the memes something like Matt Hancock #2 It was only a kiss, how did it end up like this
