So here's something that continues to puzzle me: it was not a secret that Gina C was a close friend of Hancock's from uni days. Most of the favours she got from him were also in the public domain. Yet no fuss had been made until photos were released that showed that she now also had some sort of sexual relationship with Hancock. Why does this make the favours newsworthy and corrupt? Surely heaping favours on childhood friends is also corrupt? Was this left alone till now because:
A) Nothing is a story in the British press unless someone shags/snogs someone?
B) Heaping the good stuff onto your childhood/uni mates is so common at the moment that key media figures like, I dunno, Rishi Sunak best man and Spectator editor Forsyth don't want to draw attention to that, & would prefer the standard to involve shagging
C) Both the above
D) Something else.
Nor even a rhetorical question on my part, genuinely interested in thoughts !
