Not a good look in anyones book, especially after being accused of lying. Cant see him lasting this one out.
A cabinet minister shags a civil servant he appointed to the taxpayer funded payroll, to ‘advise’ him. A woman he happens to have known and been ‘friends’ with since they were at university together.
Of course it’s of public interest. It’s different to Johnson shagging young Tory party officials.
In most large organisations it is understood that relationships between colleagues do happen. And when they do, the colleagues are separated (in a work sense) so that there can be no hint of favouritism etc.
Of course in this case that couldn’t happen because both parties were actively lying to, or at least hiding the truth from, their partners, the six young children they have between them and everyone else, including their work colleagues. Of course, apparently it is forbidden to assume anything regarding their fitness for public position based on the ethics they display in private ‘transactions’. Although Handcock is accused of lying in a professional, public sense as well.
And on top of that there is the issue of the COVID rules, which these people devised and told us we had to follow.
So, if abusing the public purse, lying/concealing the truth to public and elected officials (to say nothing of family and friends), perpetuating a situation which can be construed as less than effective and transparent for public policy decision making and the hypocrisy of breaking rules he set which are designed to protect everyone, are all ‘a personal matter’, I am relieved to now understand this.
Can anyone tell me why I should even pretend to believe anything this mendacious bastard says in the future?
I, and the rest of my family, have just (literally) taken COVID tests because a housemate of my daughter tested positive yesterday. None of us feel unwell, it’s unlikely that we have COVID given vaccination status and having previously had the virus, but we were under the impression that it was our civic responsibility to make sure we were not spreading this illness. Why the **** should we bother, when the person who designed the rules ignores them? (All negative test results, thankfully).
And, last and least, the aesthetic of these two chinless wonders at it is revolting. It’s an image that I will have to drink heavily to suppress. I hope they used protection, the last thing we need now is another Charles II of Spain.
Repeat endlessly, until you have become the sheep that they want you to be ‘it’s a personal matter, none of your business, never question your betters’
Strikes me that if there are cameras in ministers’ offices it’s only a matter of time before we get images of Gavin Williamson attempting to **** to a picture of Priti Patel. And of Priti polishing her jackboots.
