MATT Hancock has said he understands the ‘negative consequences’ of the pandemic but, on the plus side, he got to have sex with an attractive woman.
The former health secretary told the Covid Inquiry he was ‘profoundly sorry’ for any mistakes that were made, before adding that he was sure no one begrudged him copping a good feel in his office.
Hancock said: “I understand that people were angry about it at the time, given that we were blatantly breaking my own social distancing rules by sticking our tongues in each other’s mouths.
“But it’s all water under the bridge and we’re not all still pissed off about it, right? Apart from my ex-wife. Martha seems quite bitter. She should cheer up. At least she didn’t die from Covid.
“Obviously the pandemic was awful and many people suffered terribly, but that’s why we need to find the positives in all of this. One of which was that I fell in love with Gina. And another was that I made a healthy wodge of cash going on I’m A Celebrity.
“Yeah, I had a pretty good time, actually. The pandemic was just a great time to be alive.”
Martin Bishop, who lost his mother to Covid, said: “When you put it like that, if anyone deserves an apology it’s Matt, from all the haters who tried to ruin his happiness by dying.”
