Apparently it is two separate MPs
Now it's two male Tory MPs accused of watching p.rnography on phones in Commons
One MP said she had seen a male MP watching p.rnography in both Commons and at a committee and another Tory MP said she had seen a different male MP watching p.rnography and tried to take a photo.
Which makes LPM's point

*Irony face on standby.*Parish opposes, and voted against the implementation of same sex marriage, stating that he feels the issue is "for the Church and Christians to decide [upon], not for parliament to legislate."[15] In 2014, Parish voted against enabling the courts to deal with proceedings for the divorce of a same sex couple and against making same sex marriage available to armed forces personnel outside the UK.[16]

Re: Watching p.rn at work
A couple of accidental p.rn-watching incidents...
In about 2009 I was in a pub, connected to their WiFi. My browser kept intermittently flipping over to p.rn sites. This happened again in the same pub a week or so later, but never anywhere else, so I assume somebody thought it would be fun to fiddle with the router's DNS settings.*
In about 1999 I was working in an office. A colleague was looking stuff up on the Internet when he turned round to join in on a conversation. Typically for him he talked away for several minutes, and eventually turned round again to see that all this time there was a p.rn site on display. He went "what, what, what??" and then looked at the address bar and informed us he'd mistyped the address he was actually after. He was clearly embarrassed so I'm fairly sure it was an accident.
* I know nothing about routers or DNS settings so I may well be talking rubbish.

Re: Watching p.rn at work
I'm really not sure of the point of this post. Parish hasn't been accused of accidentally opening a webpage that happened to contain p.rn and quickly closing it, or being the victim of a bad 'prank'.

That is a seriously piss poor excuse. There's a huge difference between accidentally alighting on something and sitting there viewing it for a period of time. What's the betting he's not the only one...?

Nowadays, it's probably quite difficult. In the early 2000s, one of my colleagues had a PhD student who had taken up buying a few stocks and shares online. So he asked him the website address. When he went to visit, he used .com instead of .co.uk and he was very surprised by what came up just as the Head of Department popped into his office... I think now companies are more careful about buying up similar domains.Tessa K wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 1:23 pmHow do you 'accidentally' look at p.rn?

I wanted some info on the Slovenia elections so I did a search on Slovenia except I didn’t - I mistyped “lovenia” and found some pretty NSFW images. I think it was the lady’s name but I can’t be sure because she wasn’t wearing a name badge or anything else.FlammableFlower wrote: ↑Sat Apr 30, 2022 1:50 pmNowadays, it's probably quite difficult.

Re: Watching p.rn at work
It's a worthless excuse. If you're repeatedly opening links to p.rn by mistake while at work or in any other space with folk who haven't consented to watching p.rn with you, you get some web-savviness training pronto so you don't keep f.cking up like that and risking serious offence, and stop opening links in the meantime.
So even if he's telling the truth (which he isn't) he should still f.ck right off.
