"I accept that I breached the social distancing guidance in these circumstances,"
"I have let people down and am very sorry.
"I remain focused on working to get the country out of this pandemic, and would be grateful for privacy for my family on this personal matter."
How has he not resigned?

He will be gone in a few days.
Think the only thing he is sorry for is getting caught, which would be anyone else in the same situation. |  | | |

Mainly because people like you footers (and a few others who frequent social media often), with the intelligence, education, aptitude, professionalism, sincerity, humility, loyalty, humour and dedication, never put themselves up for such high office - or prefer to judge others rather than let others judge them. Such a shame. |
Judging by Hancock think it may be that Footer's never went to the correct private school and therefore never got to teabag the right people? |  | | |

No, it happens to be the truth, well perhaps, sort off. Anyone in the UK can join a political movement, stand for office etc etc. Most of us choose not to do so. We then continually criticise those that do, often rightly so. Perhaps my comments were rather tongue in cheek, but they do have a ring of truth.
Oh and footers, to keep calling someone that might just occasionally disagree with you a troll is a misuse of the word. This site is I believe for all users whatever their believes or persuasions. |

Catholic school.
Still, I'm a big name in the seminary to this day. | |

Serious question: how did someone so painfully thick ever get into government, let alone in a role as important as Health Sec? |
Because he's marginally less thick than the people who voted him into office? |  |

This 200-year-old internet troll act is one of the dullest to date. |
It's comfortably the worst Toilet Blood tribute act yet.
And painfully out of date nowadays too, all the new edge lords are trying to be [redacted] or [redacted]. | |

Had to take my 5 year old to introduction morning at Catholic school in the village earlier. There something slightly terrifying about Catholic schools and there wasn't a nun/priest to be seen. Did notice on time table that guilt is only everyday from 10-12 though, so could be worse | | | |

I see Hancock’s wife inevitably got papped while waking the dog this morning. She was wearing Stan Smiths which makes you wonder how she can have great taste in shoes yet have terrible taste in men. |  |

We are quite entitled to judge them they are paid ver6 well, and have chosen to run for office, they impose sanctions on us and expect compliance why shouldn’t we with them ? Unfortunately it appears a 2 tier system.
We have had Barnard castle, Boris paying a six figure grant to his mistress, Hancock’s shenanigans, Patel bullying staff and braking the code, G 7 super spreader event,the list goes on. |  |

Could Boris really do anything different given he did exactly the same as Mayor of London, if not worse
They are all absolutely morally bankrupt |  | | |

That's true. Hancock is an idiot and obviously a cheat.
But:
(i) there's a difference between breaking the law and not adhering to guidance. The media is lazy on this and just talks of "the rules" because it doesn't understand the distinction in many cases;
(ii) Ferguson was, in the language of the legislation, having a "gathering" which was unlawful;
(iii) Hancock was, as I understand it, working with this woman. So it was lawful for them to be in the same room;
(iv) the kiss was not a breach of any law. It was a failure to adhere to social distancing guidance, just as bumping elbows is also a breach of that same guidance. That happens all the time, including at G7 summits with the world watching.
So, if we are going to be indignant, we need to work out why.
Should Hancock lose his job for:
(a) being a Tory? No. However much you might hate them, we need a Health Secretary and they will all be Tories until a different party forms a government;
(b) breaking the law? No. He hasn't.
(c) being a hypocrite in saying that a different person was right to resign after breaking the law? No. Hancock has not broken the law.
(d) having an affair? No. I don't believe that someone should lose their job for having an affair.
People can feel free to hate this guy, of course, but I'm not sure there is any ground for calling for resignation. Hugging one's parents or grandparents was illegal in circumstances where they lived in a different household. Hancock meeting this woman and kissing this woman was not illegal. It's that simple. |  | | |

In a court of law that may well be the case.
Meanwhile the general public will see this as "one rule for them and one for us" we're already seeing this happen with events like Ascot and the whole house of cards could crash down because of Hancocks misdemeanor. | |

I am happy to suggest he should resign for being, in the words of BJ, "fcking useless".
Back to your point, he was in charge of public health advice, advice that he broke. That undermines the govts own advice, so yeah, I think a resignation for that should follow.
That assumes of course that either he or BJ has an ounce of dignity/honesty/integrity. So am expecting he will carry on regardless. |  |

Boris has just said matter is closed and for Hancock to carry on doing the important job he is doing on Covid.
So yes, he will carry on it appears. Until he is no longer useful to Boris as a shield/distraction anyway | | | |

His actions are his own and he's responsible for them. That being said this all helps the government to weaken public confidence in the man. Whilst Boris can hardly dismiss someone from the cabinet based on their moral failings, it's just another brick in the wall that eventually leads to a cabinet reshuffle or a resignation that absolves Boris of any blame. | |

It was the hypocrisy and failing to accept responsibility that caused Majors government so much grief.
And as with Cummings it is the perception that will count - being 'one rule for them and one rule for the rest of us'.
Further back, some may recall Churchill's popularity during the war. One that so dramatically collapsed in the July 1945 General Election.

I think you’ve missed:
e) ignoring public health advice put in place by his own department, for the purposes or protecting the public from a deadly virus
You’re quite right that he hasn’t done anything illegal but it certainly is immoral, negligent and completely undermines the COVID restrictions which are still ongoing and seemingly necessary. So yes, it absolutely should be a sackable/resignation offence |  |
