Just couldn’t watch Nadia’s rant this morning…I got a few seconds in where she started saying that they have to make sure their teenagers follow the rules. Has she not seen Maddie’s Instagram over the last year AT ALL? Maddie has broken the rules numerous times, and the posting photographs of it is likely to only be the tip of the iceberg.
I don’t agree with Matt Hancock’s behaviour, but I also think it is mostly a private family matter, with the possibility of it being a conduct matter as he was caught in the workplace…but I don’t think it’s a matter of national importance that we should all be getting riled over. For over a year he has been working on decisions that are literally life and death in their consequences, probably there has never been a health secretary before who has been thrust into the spotlight and needed to work on an evolving situation over such a prolonged period, he has had to make difficult decisions and whether we agree with any of his actions work or personal, we surely should agree that the job for him has turned out very differently than he first expected, and who knows how he is coping with the stress of the responsibility. The important thing is the R number and to reduce that you need a community change in behaviour to break chains of transmission, there will always be people who break rules whether in the pubic eye or not, that doesn’t mean the population as a whole should stop working to reduce the R. Also, if he was spending a lot of time working with this woman, working in a job where as a department they don’t work from home, and they have both already had Covid with mild symptoms, they really would not be feeling the same concerns over personal infection as people who haven’t yet been infected would in having close contact with strangers, because there would be a reasonable chance of spread in the workplace without any kissing to begin with, and they would know how vulnerable their own households would be if they were to bring it home.
I’m sure there are better people than Matt Hancock for the job, but Nadia would not be one of them, so I don’t see why she thinks she has the right to rage about his behaviour. Also, what is worse…a man kissing a woman who is not his wife…or a man driving drunk on a motorway? What Mark did was worse than cheating, he could have killed people, yet her man is Mr Wonderful and she is raging at the behaviour of another man instead, who she doesn’t even personally know.
Nadia…stop raging…whatever Matt Hancock does is irrelevant to your life, you should look closer to home as you have enough of your own problems with your husband who you are having to help maintain a fake job for and is constantly on the edge of alcoholism, and an adult daughter who is unemployed and spends her time drinking in the park and posting photos of herself publicly dressed as if homeless and putting her middle finger up to the camera, supposedly she does this on purpose to ensure she remains unemployable…so many problems Nadia, focus your energy in the right place.
