steved32   55 #6434 Posted June 26, 2021 You really couldn't write this as satire. Or maybe "Little Britain" did so a decade ago, with their "I was reaching for a Murray Mint sketch."  An extra-marital tryst was explained away, with the MP ending the interview with, "I have no further comment to make."  Boris considers Hancock's snog "matter closed." I bet millions don't, including his own party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I bet millions don't, including his own party. Personally, I think Mr. Hancock made a grave error of judgement and should have offered to resign, at least. He must know there are security cameras in all Government buildings, even if they aren't obvious, even to the occupants.  However, whoever released SECURITY CAMERA footage should be sacked - they obviously are not trustworthy.

What else might he/she reveal which could be a security risk?

Nobody seems to know why the camera was inside his office.  It’s a fishy story alright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'll take your word for it - although I certainly didn't think it looked like it from the cursory glance I gave the picture.  As I said - he should have resigned earlier, and stopped all the flak. Be interesting to see which mouthpiece replaces him - Dianne Abbott, anyone?🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
