This whole Matt Hancock doing I'm a celeb thing, surely it's career suicide isn't it?  I get he wants fame but I just can't see him coming across well, especially as he's still getting his wages to be an MP whilst in the jungle.....thoughts?

They have no shame. Everything to them is about how they can advance themselves in life and personal wealth without giving two fooks about the people they are supposed to serve.

I hope he gets bitten by something poisonous and can't get to hospital quick enough. That would be fitting.

It’s definitely one way of getting votes. Just not electorally significant ones.

I bet there are a few people and a former PM in particular worrying about what he might say in there.

Feed that hateful, stupid, self serving to$$er to the rats. It’d be the best thing for all of us. The bereaved Covid families would get justice. Nothing like self awareness is there.

It’s narcissism at its very finest, and if somehow it wasn’t already clear that our politicians are completely and utterly out of touch with the common man, it is now.

I’m not sure which bit Hancock doesn’t get; that he is despised for his gross incompetence as a political leader at one of the gravest moments in our nation’s recent history, incompetence that would cost the lives of tens of thousands of people. That he’s despised for his fundamental lack of respect not only for the people of this country but in particular his wife when he was busy having a sleazy affair with his aide when us plebs were locked up at home and not allowed within 5 yards one another. Or that he’s despised because he’s simply a thoroughly dislikable príck that looks like someone put a badly thinning wig on a spunking penís.

He just doesn’t see it, and that in itself I find so utterly bizarre. If he thinks he’s winning a single person over then he’s deluded, but then we knew that.

Absolute prize cùnt.

And yet, despite all that, I’ve seen people genuinely commenting that he did a good job. There are actually deluded people out there.

The only trial this girl private should be doing is one at The Hague. For every million quid of government/public cash he shovelled in to the pocket of one of his mates he should receive a paper cut between the toes or finger…

Well I mean, you’ve put it so much better than me. Every word mate.

£400,000 he is being paid

he is a complete rat, as Ginny said, hope he gets bitten and they cant get him out in time

It's ok though, he's not going to neglect his duties, y'know the ones he's paid to do!

Quoted Text

"as an MP, my first priority is to my constituents. I have agreed with the show's producers that I can be reached at any point on any urgent constituency matters.

In fact, he's actually doing this for the greater good.

Quoted Text

"It’s as clear as day that politicians like me must go to where the people are — particularly those who are politically disengaged," he said.

"We must wake up and embrace popular culture.

"Rather than looking down on reality TV, we should see it for what it is — a powerful tool to get our message heard by younger generations.

"In fact, I think it’s patronising to hear some say reality TV is beneath a politician. "We all know that many people are turned off by the ­aggressive ‘gotcha’ questioning and insider presumptions of political news.”

Complete girl private.  He actually thinks the issue is that he's bringing politics into disrepute by doing reality TV, not that the issue is he's turning his back on his constituents when really he should be working for them right now.  

I said on another thread I hope he gets eaten by a snake.  I hope it's actually an army of tiny but deadly ants that slowly and painfully nibble away at him.   I hope the viewing public save their money on putting him up for challenges, instead raising a kitty for anyone to dump a load of honey on him to entice the aforementioned ants.

Nothing to do with the £400,000.

No siree!

I would just add…..he isn’t a celebrity. He’s a disgraced public servant who is lucky to have a tax payer funded job that he’s now disregarding to feed his ego.
He really is quite a dense and inarticulate man. I remember seeing him on QT years before he was appointed Health Secretary and he was hopeless. George Galloway of all people just ripped him to shreds. How he ever got near a ministerial role is beyond me. I suppose you could say that ITV have played this well - sucking in a gullible ego that will attract viewers who want to watch him being humiliated over and over. I can’t see the other contestants taking to him either. I suppose that could make for ‘good tv’. Either way, those poor grieving relatives and friends of those who needlessly died from COVID on his watch and because of his bungling failures and disgusting acts of corruption must just feel this adds insult to injury.

Finally thought of a word that describes Hancock.

Lickspittle-

1. A fawning underling: a toady.

2. The practice of giving empty flattery for personal gain.
