Matt Hancock resigns

janer1967

A bit late off the press but just seen this on the news 

Due to scandal over social distancing to mention one part of the scandal was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this

What do people expect from the government  there are always scandles  been going back years and years nothing new he has been caught out who is hiding behind him he is just the unlucky one 

Not long ago there was something going on with borris Johnson

The main thing I was bothered by (apart from the obvious cheating is not OK and the poor kids etc)  was what he must have on Boris?! But honestly I doubt anything that is going to come out in the future would shock me I personally haven't had so much of a problem with social distancing as I hate mixing with people anyway so it didn't really change my life in a huge way in that respect so I wasn't so much angry like others appear to be about him rule breaking....

When I heard I just felt so sorry for the families.

I wasn't sure if he would resign or not, we had the whole saga last year with Domonic Cummings and he ended up surviving that. Obviously, the full truth from his point of view came out recently but at the time it was common belief that he had to go. 

In this case, I was quite surprised when I saw he had resigned, which I think was the right thing to do. Any kind of apology in his situation doesn't really do anything for me because it's only really a "sorry this came out in the press" kind of thing. Fair play to him for resigning, but as mentioned above the real victims are the families really.

Its people like him and Boris that i regret even morethan the last days of cameron being a tory voter when i was younger 
I wish labour and lib dems would sort themselves and make this country better and more tolerarant
