    My take.  Every year I try to avoid but the wife loves it, so I have an outside punt on it to make it interesting.  

    This year I’ve had a punt on Babatunde, seems a happy chap, can be quite funny and judging by the lingo I’d imagine is down with the kids, 20/1 I thought was generous, so strictly for financial purposes, he has my blessing.  

    As for the others, Boy George is quite odd, quite needy and trying his best to cause agg, and it’s for that reason we need him in there to keep things watchable.  

    If the show was a league table Hancock started off with a points deduction for me, but it’s a bit of fun you can’t watch these things with your political goggles on, pains me to say it, but he seems alright, but then again, MPs are the nations best salesman, so he’s trained for this.  

    Other than that, not arsed who wins long as there’s drama.
    He annoys me only for the fact he does half hearted efforts on the trials and then goes 'ahhh i tried'. Yeah mate, just not very hard.
    He’s not in Helen Flanagan territory.
    I'd like to be in Helen Flanagan's territory

    I won't watch it on principle, but has anyone in the jungle actually asked Matt Hancock about the court ruling that it was unlawful to send untested people into care homes? From what I've read elsewhere he is concentrating more on his affair, than a decision that cost many families to lose a loved one unnecessarily. No doubt he is there to deflect from that dreadful decision and sadly it appears to be working.

    I don't believe anyone mentioned the care home fiasco.
    More complaining that they couldn't meet up with loved ones

    It’s a reality tv game show not question time. 
  • I don’t watch this but in my opinion Hancock isn’t a celebrity, he’s a cheating fecker who shouldn’t get any publicity. 
    And Boy George served time for false imprisonment of a rent boy and beating him, the comedian bloke isnt squeaky clean either.
    I didn’t say he didn’t, my only comment was about the adulterous Hancock.

    The main point of the video is to show just what a despicable character Matt Hancock is. His affair was a minor misdemeanour in comparison to some of the decisions made which resulted in the deaths of thousands of people, his lies and corruption which wasted billions of pounds of taxpayer's money. This man should not be trying to clean up his image by taking part in a television programme.

    The families of all those who died as a result of his decisions, this cannot be separated from his appearance on I'm a Celebrity. His appearance on that programme is to clean up his image, and it seems to be working from some of the comments.

    Should there then not be boycotts of the show instead of hatred towards Hancock... It was ITV who asked him to go on it, because they wanted to whip up the drama, and get everyone talking about it.

    Well their plan has worked

    When Matt Hancock decided to go into the jungle it became political.

    This is a thread about I'm a Celebrity, not fu*king Matt Hancock, there are other contestants, and yet once again a seemingly normal thread about a normal ( if boring at times) reality show on TV has become a party political broadcast...🙄

    Matt Hancock is one of the contestants so a discussion about him is not unreasonable

    I could have picked any number of your recent posts like this, yes you are entitled to your opinion, Gawd knows we’ve read enough of them on the appropriate thread but do you need to ruin this one too? If you have nothing to say about the actual show then don’t post. Does everything have to be political for you?

    Matt Hancock is a politician and a contestant on I'm a Celebrity, so perfectly reasonable to discuss both. I could say all those who choose to criticise me are ruining the thread.

    Do any of you actually think it is acceptable for a serving politician to take part in the show, especially one who has made so many bad decisions? He is there for one reason only, to deflect from those terrible decisions. 

    To answer an earlier question, Boy George has a nasty side to his character, but he isn't a serving politician who should be working for his constituents, not playing games in a jungle.

    I'd considering chaining up a rent boy and beating him with a chain, more than a nasty side but that's just me.

    Anyway, can covid talk be kept to that thread ?

    Correct, and there is a thread to post political opinions however this is not it but you know that don’t you

    It's quite interesting watching Matt Hancock in the jungle because he reminds me a hell of a lot of some of the people I have worked with over the years.  Not anyone specific or in particular, but just a certain "type". 

    They're usually successful and rise to the top of an organisation because they appear to be very driven and focussed, totally convinced in their own ability and not afraid to make "tough decisions". Perfect "leadership material" is normally how they're categorised, primarily by people already at the top who can see their own personal characteristics being replicated and demonstrated, which is clearly a good thing (in their eyes).

    The thing is these same people very often suffer from a total lack of empathy or understanding of anyone else's position or feelings. Things can be very black and white or matter of fact. They also seem to be able to detach themselves from reality for periods in order to focus on specific things - like for example grabbing stars when you're surrounded by snakes, which are meant to be your biggest fear. They don't necessarily choose to ignore others, they just have no comprehension that what they're saying or doing may not be the view of everyone concerned. 

    In some respects we all need people like that in the world otherwise nothing would ever get done and you end up in endless discussions going round in circles with nobody actually making any difficult decisions. Doesn't mean they can't be absolute c***s as well though.
