MP Neil Parish says he may have opened porn in Commons by mistake

  1. Is he being accused of actively looking at porn or just unlocking his phone and having porn open from the last time he was using his phone?

  2. We’ve all being having a wank using our public funded phone in our public funded office and after finishing forget to close the tab so that when we’re not paying attention in a work meeting we accidentally reload the porn

    We also then all go on right wing news to talk about the issue and how it wasn’t me

  3. sounds like he was watching it for at least several minutes. if the investigation finds he searched for ”Redhead/MILF” the Daily Mail will no doubt run a story about how Angela Rayner is to blame.

  4. Surely if it was by mistake and he only had it open long enough to close the tab or whatever the other tories wouldn’t have reported him? I’ve worked with several people who’ve had something similar happen (used to travel for work and stay in hotels, not much else to do) and we just laughed about it, if someone were sat there actively watching porn in a work setting that would be different though

    Seems like another party gate where he’ll say he isn’t sure what happened and hope another scandal comes up and people forget about it

  5. “Sorry, I may have accidentally opened some porn on my device and I may have accidentally kept on watching it without realising until it accidentally got to the bit where I don’t really need to watch it any more.”

  6. lmao.

    I’m sure his advisor told him that either this was the line, or to say he’s “been hacked”.

    Owning up to actually doing something wrong in the Tory party and being accountable for it? Never going to happen.

  7. “I don’t know what happened I just looked and it was already like that! It wasn’t me!” ~ Neil Parish, age 6 1/2

  8. The excuse of “opening the wrong file” means that he had downloaded it and had it saved to his phone. He could have claimed a browser hijack if it was running on a website but it was seen for several minutes (allegedly). What other porn does he keep on his phone? Why does he keep porn on his work phone?

  9. How on earth can he not be sure? Why not just go “look I was bored and looking on twitter and someone had sent a ton of porn and I didn’t realise, I’m sorry for being an imbecile”

  10. Once again the Conservatives think “I’m staggeringly incompetent” is a legitimate defence for any action.

  11. It’s was one of those untagged NSFW messages from the “lads” on the WhatsApp group chat.
    Turn auto download off you fool!

  12. The cynic in me thinks this entire story is so easily one that could be done on purpose that team players who wanted to change the news cycle would.

    Now we’re discussing this instead of how many times Boris Johnson was fined for singing karaoke while people were unable to say goodbye to their dying loved ones.

  13. If we take his claims as true, the best possible interpretation is that he clicks random links in unsolicited emails without doing anything to check them. That’s… honestly worse.

  14. >Asked if it was a mistake, he said: “I will await the findings of the inquiry.”

    He needs an inquiry to tell him if he accidently looked at porn?

    Or perhaps he defines “a mistake” by whether or not he gets away with it.

  15. “Whoops, I accidentally ended up on Pornhub, when clearly I wanted a news website to do something research. How ever could I get the website name wrong like that, I would never visit such a website…”

  16. It’s entirely possible, because what moron, overlooked by 10-20 people directly behind, would openly watch porn on their phone, and watch porn not being able to well, you know… (can’t say it, I’m British after all).

    But the guy comes across like a complete, officious twat, so I really don’t care at this point.

  17. Bet it was a mistake from his morning wank. Opens it up, oh shit moment realising it’s the last thing he had open, goes to delete it, remembers it’s a particularly spicy bit of porn and decides to open it up again to bookmark it for later. All been there, Neil! Just not in the House of Commons next to female colleagues, numpty.

  18. He says he was looking at tractors online, but accidentally ended up watching porn I’m not which part of the story is more embarassing? How does one get from A to B in this scenario?

  19. When he was told he’s going to have the whip removed, he says that’s fine as he was getting bored of that video anyway.

  20. Complete B.S ..someone else made his finger and thumb do it …I don’t think so ..
    Lying Garath Hunt …🖕

  21. So what he’s saying, is he doesn’t want the job of Minister for porn. If he does take that job, he’ll have an excuse to watch porn when & where he likes, even if his wife doesn’t agree to it. Wanker!.
