Sad day for his wife and children (and the other woman's, too). As some of the gaudier papers put it, the "love rat" in charge failed to step up to the plate and sack the other "love rat". What hypocrites!
(Hope this is not too political for RC. )
On another forum I follow someone has made the interesting observation that in these more enlightened times we are totally accepting of people rights to make their own choices about their sexuality, relationships and their adherence to monogamy/fidelity.
...except when it comes to married heterosexual men.
None of us know how much the respective families knew about the relationship, and whether or not it was something that the partners had consented to. There are a lot of assumptions being made that it involved 'lies' and 'cheating', but nobody other than the individuals concerned know whether or not that is the case.
The families
could be 'sad' - but possibly only because what was a private matter they were all fully aware of* has become the stuff of gossip mongers, and their personal lives are being made very public.
The tone of the coverage, and long-lens pictures of cars being loaded, makes me wonder who the 'hypocrites' really are in a situation like this.
(Likewise I also hope this is not too political)
*Hancock and Coladangelo knew each other at university. There's every possibility the situation is not dissimilar to that of our future King (and Defender of the Faith) and his present wife. Most of us have long since moved on to not thinking of him as a faithless adulterer and she his 'mistress'.
