As above, I do not watch the show, have seen some reviews and comments over the years, clearly it is aimed at the lowest branches of the evolutionary tree. Hancock is a massive bellend and keeps digging with his pathetic attempt to justify being on the show. He will not be selected for the next GE. His local constituency party have already voted no confidence in him. West Suffolk is a very safe seat. Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Originally posted by silvertop Agreed. His party has effectively made him an independent and he is political dead man walking till he gets washed away at the next general election. Does he truly believe he can become a TV personality with this? You never know in the age of monkey tennis; but he does not have the charm of say Michael Portillo to present well in front of camera. Perhaps he is considering his memoires? Given the Tories have dumped him, he will have nothing to lose with a complete kiss + tell. There are a hell of a lot of buried bodies from the last 6 years of political turmoil. I suspect he knows where most of them are. Hancock is pushing his memoirs I guess they will be out for the Christmas season although why anyone would be interested in his is beyond me. I once heard a journalist explain about the economics behind political memoirs. With the obvious exception of a few e.g. Churchill, Mandela and the Obama's most memoirs end up in the bargain bucket within weeks of being published. So why would a publisher agree to buy a dreary politician's life story such as Hancock, Mandela he aint. Well apparently the money to be made is selling excerpts to the newspapers. They will pay a few hundred thousands just for the pages where he says Boris pulled faces behind May's back or he once saw Nigel Farage in a pro EU T shirt or some such rubbish. So the publisher makes a quick buck promoting and selling the juicy bits to the Guardian or such like knowing that the actual book will only sell a few thousand copies. The press could do us all a favour and refuse to bite thus denying people like Hancock a pay day. One more point

Apparently he's going on to show his human side, his personality and to raise awareness of dyslexia. Now everyone will know he's a w@nker who can't spell.

When did anyone ever care about the human side and personality of a health minister or whatever? And it isn’t really watched by politics fans. Just get him removed asap along with any others. COYP
