#IMACELEBRITY
Twitter reacted to the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here final, won by footballer Jill Scott, with Tory MP Matt Hancock coming third. @Nickrprice said: “Congratulations to @ Jillscottjs8, thoroughly well deserved!"
@argyleoz tweeted: “The fact that Matt Hancock made it to the #Imacelebrity final, despite presiding over thousands of Covid deaths tells us the English public (not Scottish/welsh/ Northern Irish, who aren't as stupid) are still a nation of sycophantic tory capdoffing forelock tuggers.” @amexbha said: “Couldn't agree more mate, just a big PR stunt, hopefully those involved in covid inquiry aren't so easily duped.” @Sandratofriends wrote: “Scotland has moved so far in the opposite direction from our neighbours I'm so happy to say.” @tina_eager wrote: “Tells us that there are people out there who will vote to have him do all kinds of disgusting stuff but won't let him win. Revenge.” @Councsellingsam said: “Point of Order, Mr Speaker: Didn't #Matthancock say he was going onto #Imacelebrity to raise awareness of #Dyslexia ? Does anyone recall him mentioning it AT ALL?"
#RIPDODDIE
Tributes continued to appear after the death of Scottish rugby legend and charity campaigner Doddie Weir. @frankbrunoboxer said: “RIP Doddie Weir we met a few times on the circuit a natural fun character great company 2 B with. His non stop pleas 2 raise awareness 4 funding towards #MND was heard by many except the people with the purse strings! Sad loss for Sport, my thoughts for his family.” @charlielufc added: “No words, just pure love. Government, sort this out!” @Thevoiceofrugby added: “Larger than life, in every way. As Bill once said, “He’s like a runaway giraffe”.
A true gent, a legend, an inspiration.” @toddac8said: “In a world full of false heroes, this man was amazingly brave and worthy of the word hero. Despite his suffering from a killer disease, his campaign and fundraising to find a cure, was awesome.” @mike_crofts said: “I’m impressed time and again by the dignity which so many sufferers of serious illnesses act in the face of adversity. RIP Doddie Weir, a legend of rugby; a huge loss to his family and the world.”
