It’s just a witch hunt. There’s a lot of it about. People have weaknesses, poor judgement or go through low points they aren’t proud of. Doesn’t mean they are rotten through and through.
His career ruined. Humiliated and shamed. Family embarrassed.
Hope people are satisfied.
Struck me as being a steady reasonable bloke.
Very sad day for all concerned though plenty who couldn’t do what he did on the positive side of things will be gloating massively though they have contributed nothing of any worth.
Jesus lad, the man is sitting in our ruling house viewing porn, what the fukkk to you is unacceptable?

I know on the face of it it doesn’t look good at all. But was his attention really needed 100% at that time or was he just waiting for an item to be debated or voted upon.
At one time he’d have been taken to one side, given a stern telling to and come out of the process a wider and more experienced man. Now we throw them on the scrap heap and waste what talent they did have.
Even Christianity acknowledges forgiveness of sins, repentance etc, but this modern secular world takes no prisoners. We end up with what? A leadership class of goody two shoes, all perfectly correct and upright, but unable to make a decision, unable to stick their necks out, no experience of the downside of life, no real idea of the frailties of the human condition. They aren’t really the best people to lead us.

By his actions he becomes a lesser mortal and unworthy of office surely?

It wasn't mad Hat's husband, it was the other woman, having thought on it.
Just been on radio, apparently Mr Parrish was attempting to look at tractors and came across it by accident.

He’s surely become a wiser mortal.
Who hasn’t lusted or letched to some degree? We aren’t all eunuchs and never will be. Ok he let it get the better of good sense and decency. But end his career for that? You’d need to kick them all out if that’s the rule.

I think I and many others would happily kick them all out if that's what is required for a slither of common sense and decency from the people who have such vast control over our lives.

I’d like to know if such a fuss would have been kicked up if he was doing online grocery shopping or filling in his BPS application? Is the problem with what he was watching or that he was doing something non work related while at work?

I just can’t work out why you’d look at porn in an area where other people are. Surely the aim of looking at porn would be to spaff one out on your lonesome…… let’s be honest, it’s not like you’re watching for the storyline.
Certainly waiting for the punchline
