Can't say that I've ever done it.
Me neither
I remember years ago a lady friend of mine who has 36" inside legs (long legs) was trying to find some lingerie that fitted.
She googled "Long legged ladies underwear" and was quite shocked at the images returned.
I have but it was a long time ago and the result of mistyping a web address.
Oh, I have only ever found porn sites deliberately. They are easy to find but difficult to accidently wander onto.
It happened that once in the televised select committee… but I think I got away with it. Oh… and that time in the televised House of Commons session… pretty sure I got away with that as well. No one was watching.
He says he'll resign if found guilty?
Surely that's going to go like this:
Did you do it?
Yes
Guilty
Bye

I had a similar experience when I was having trouble with a nerve in my face and I googled "facial numbness".

Hotmale?
Pen island?
I once accidentally picked up a copy of Razzle instead of the Guardian and didn’t realise my error until somebody pointed out my mistake as I read it in the office.
I see that he’s gone for his bosses ‘we must wait for the results of the enquiry’ line
When I watched him being interviewed in front of the countries media though, my first thought was ‘what on earth is he wearing?!’

PornHub when you meant BikeHub?
I have every sympathy with him. Who amongst us hasn't found themselves ambushed by pornography?
Playing devils advocate as in no way attempting to defend the bloke, but surely most of us have clicked on that thing in the WhatsApp group chat and wished we hadn't....after watching it 5 times.
black cock videos?
I suspect the "Porn addiction, we should pity him no punish him" line will come out soon.
I think that they should stream the videos that he was watching on all major news channels.
Just so we can judge for ourselves based on the evidence of course.

No singlecrackworld instead of singletrackworld
He'll claim he has an addiction and should be supported not punished.
Did have to laugh at the interview, where he stated he was concerned about the embarrassment that this matter was causing his wife and family....own it, it's all on you.
I used to work for a very large UK company and got involved in a case like this. I had to deliver a guys laptop to our security group for investigation and I remember them telling me that they accepted porn sites could be designed to inadvertently draw you in but the key was how long did it take you to close it down.....and did you revisit it.
The BBC states he was viewing in the Chamber AND in a Select Committee so that doesn't sound like a one off error to me.
edit: ignore me, I meant to post this on onlyfans not STW.
From Twitter a couple of days ago -
@sturdyAlex: Look forward to:
- Absolutely no porn was watched.
- There was porn, but I was ambushed by it.
- I'm furious that nobody advised me it was porn.
- Who doesn't watch porn at work, really.
- It would be wrong to preempt the porn inquiry.
- MOVE ON, YOU PRUDES. THERE'S A WAR ON!

thats a hedge resistant tunic for getting to the really hard stuff behind the bus stop
Why didn’t they follow up his “opened by mistake” statement with a question why were you on your phone when you should be paying attention to the HoC/select committee proceedings?
Handy surname for a bit of alliteration- Pervy Parish
@joshv 👏
Tho I don’t think he has to go hedge foraging too much, it drops at his feet by accident!
My lad had 'pawn' ping an alert to us from his phone yesterday.
He insisted it was chess pieces, he was too quick with his answer for me to think he's lying, but we still had a chat about viewing movies etc.
Surely when in a meeting or the Chamber you just turn your phone off? Even just leaving it in your pocket is enough. He should be concentrating on what is being discussed, not surfing the web. If you need to make or take notes in use a sodding notepad and pen.

No, the little preview picture and who has sent it is usually a big clue as to whether it's suitable for viewing or not. Easily avoided by just not looking at your phone at important times.
Patagonian covers it quite well, I think.
When I worked for DWP there was a computer secure room where random screenshots of what staff were looking at on their computers were taken, that was eye opening, often for messages between staff rather than websites in use.
One of my favourite episodes of Ab Fab is the one where June Whitfield was struggling to shut down the Internet as she was "caught in a porn loop". Terry Scott never knew what he'd been missing.
They should be treated like kids in school - no phones rule and lockers outside the chamber to put them in. They’re all supposed to be there working, representing our interests not playing wordle, reading stw or getting frothy watching porn.
I dunno what you’re all moaning at, it’s not like he’d been elected to a position of responsibility to try and run the country or anything 😉
On the train home the headlines on the free paper wrote about a huge snake being found.
I googled worlds biggest snake once I got in and not many results featured actual jungle beasties.
I was in a small shop once, the owner was watching porn. They tried to blame a pop up.
What’s that thing when parody become indistinguishable from fact?

Happened once years ago. The .co.uk site was a booking agency for wedding / ceilidh bands and the .com site was hardcore gay porn. Luckily I was at home and not at work.
Ceildh porn? That’s quite a specialty.
If he had opened it inadvertently, then I assume that he'll have no problems submitting his browsing history as supporting evidence for that claim
Think the mistake was that it was not the porn he really wanted that he opened, but as it was open better just watch it anyway.
Many years ago I sent a marketing info for website filtering software made by sun microsystems to all the schools in the country.
www.sun.com was mistyped so we asked them all to visit sin . com instead. luckily the wilds of the internet weren't so wild back then.
No word of a lie. I was googling CAMRA at work in 2000 and there was a porn site that was camra.com or something similar. I clicked on it and nearly shit myself when it opened to definitely not photos of bearded sandal wearing men. I closed it quickly but spent the next month or so worried I was going to be sacked.
I googled "footlong" at work once for a picture of a Subway sandwich. That got shut down pretty quick.
My dad was involved in the early iterations of school internet, search engines. We’re in Yorkshire and in a demo some older geezer asked him to search up Black Dyke 🤣. Not sure if web filtering had been invented yet.
In Parish news, I think his wife should keep quiet judging by her comments in the press.
His wife, Sue Parish, told the Times the accusations were “all very embarrassing”, adding: “My breath was taken away, frankly.
“People shouldn’t be looking at pornography. He would never just sit there with people looking. He would never just do that knowing [people were looking]. These ladies were quite right to be as [upset] as they were.
Describing her husband as a “normal … lovely person”, she added: “If you were mad with every man who looked at pornography, you would not have many wives in the world.
“It’s degrading. It’s demeaning. But on the other hand it takes two to tango. There must be women posing for all this.”
It is a lot easier to visit a site you didn't mean to if it is in your history or favourites, or on a tab that was last on your browser when you shut it down etc. Particularly on phones, you may only be a fat finger (oo er missus) or arse type away.
Plus, the porn in question may have been stored on the device.
For gods sake he should admit it and whilst he's at it point out that 99% of men and probably 50% of women (or maybe more) use pornography on a regular basis. And whilst it's not a good idea to watch it at work (but let's also be honest the proportion of people who have done that is likely almost as high as those that use it generally), it's no more an indictment of what's wrong with the world than watching TV.

If she is not embarrassed about being married to a Tory MP then I doubt much will embarrass her.
