Re: Matt Hancocks Affair
People should be told that cameras are filming them. I thought there was some law about informing people but maybe it doesn't exist. I do know that there was a law about voice recordings eg. of phone calls. Of course these days we don't know who is watching or listening. smartphones / alexa / a hacker...etc.27-06-2021, 11:22 AM

It seems remarkably prescient for whoever put it there that this was the best place to spy on him.
I can easily imagine that the footage could have been taken from someone taking a phone video of the bona fide monitor.

Both....he was uncovered....says it all on the footage...
His private life his own business...he brought it into a government building.....
Don’t bring personal affairs to work, imo, he should have had self control and kept their groping each other...to their own private residence.

Do you honestly think they would have been able to carry out their little tete a tetes in their own homes, or in some little bedsit somewhere without the press getting wind?

Not really interested in that.
They were caught red handed...they were sitting targets, just waiting for the right time for someone to expose their little secret.
They have been exposed....

Re: Matt Hancocks Affair
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...cid=uxbndlbingLabour has repeated its point that the PM should have sacked Hancock immediately after video footage emerged of him kissing an aide in his ministerial office in a breach of coronavirus restrictions.
The prime minister has a “very dangerous blind spot” over issues of integrity and conduct in government ministers’ public life, shadow housing secretary Lucy Powell said in an interview for the Labour party with Trevor Phillips on sky.
“I’m afraid it feels to me like the prime minister has a very dangerous blind spot when it comes to issues of integrity and conduct in public life. And that’s a really big problem,” Powell said.
Doubts that PM will last until next election.
