However clever one feels, however superior to the currents and eddies of popular culture, it is impossible not to know Matt Hancock is in the jungle for I’m A Celebrity. Everyone knows and (practically) everyone is angry, but the truth is, he’s not the “celebrity” out in the jungle with the most egregious record. Far from it.
I watched Boy George’s recent tirades at Hancock with astonishment. It was funny, I suppose – Hancock is a chump, of course – but firstly, he wasn’t actually behind Covid, which is what you might think from listening to the way some people talk about the former health secretary. Secondly, and much more importantly, Boy George ought to know the importance of forgiveness for errors, even if they were unintentional.
