So his wife is not into dancing then? It takes two to tango. Right. But a decent tango is volatile and full of passion. So was he full of passion?

@AnyFucker and you're the oracle are you? I know you believe yourself to be.

I disagree with the comments and I'm allowed to disagree, last time I checked.

FrancescaContini · 29/04/2022 21:18

Dunno why but I am picturing:

Mary Archer
Mellor’s wife
Et al

I don’t know how these Tory Wives stick with their revolting husbands. As for their children - how humiliating to know your dad’s been watching porn in Chamber.

teacherorpreacher · 29/04/2022 21:19

Just resign now fgs man just go now. Feel for his family the hurt and humiliation must be immeasurable

JanePrentiss · 29/04/2022 21:20

We can focus on them both - him for his appalling actions and her for her appalling words.

Words fail me... If you can't see the problems that not only such a view can cause, but have that view shared publicly via the media can cause, then... Well... What is there to say?

OhLordyWhatNow · 29/04/2022 21:21

But I know it's easier for some people to always default to somehow blaming a woman ...

Isn't that exactly what the wife was doing by deflecting blame on to a woman for participating in the porn in the first place? (Which may be involuntary-sex trafficking anyone? Or is that too inconvenient?)

Neil Parish had to seek it out to view it! It's not a passive activity, it doesn't just appear in a Google tab without you knowing.

motherofchihuahuas · 29/04/2022 21:23

Thank you @MrsTerryPratchett so the whip is their PR person have I got that right?

@WalkerWalking

Go for it Smile

You’ve just ruined his defence.

AlternativePerspective · 29/04/2022 21:25

Thing is, there are plenty of women who don’t object to their husbands watching porn. And while watching porn at home is undoubtedly not on the same level as watching it at work, if as a general rule she knows he watches porn, she may not be thinking along the same lines as we are, added to which she will have been totally ambushed by the press into saying something.

I actually do think he will go. In fact I think he will be sacked, because putting the spotlight on to someone else will essentially take the heat off of Boris. Boris needs a diversion right now, so he is the ideal subject for that.

NewBootsAndRanty · 29/04/2022 21:11

Nah, he was just doing research in case he got asked what a woman is 😇

Perfect

AnyFucker · 29/04/2022 21:28

Yeah, he is a dead whip walking, that is for sure

motherofchihuahuas · 29/04/2022 21:28

He absolutely does have to go.

I watched bridgerton this week between calls but ffs everyone would have had far more respect for him if he'd been watching this and not porn.

I don’t think you get it

There are just no words are there. Baffling

Springtime45 · 29/04/2022 21:30

He’s our MP, presented the prizes at our children’s school a couple of years ago.

I find it all very depressing as he’s always come across as a decent West Country farmer-turned-MP, the working type not the gentleman type, who has stood up for issues important to locals. He’s as far from an Etonian or Metropolitan elite-type as you can imagine. What an idiot. His poor wife :(

theDudesmummy · 29/04/2022 21:31

I have a shedload of sexual terms and words in my Google history because of the work I do. I have never once managed to accidentally have porn pushed on me. Funny that.

I have said something akin to this in the FWR thread but the wife's comments, victim blaming and basic lack of awareness are astonishing. I get it that she is shocked amd upset but this is not the appropriate response.

And letting him go in front of international press drunk was not exactly a clever strategy either.

Tories out FFS.

motherofchihuahuas · 29/04/2022 21:32

Did he really watch it for nine minutes? I saw that up thread. 9 minutes?

Thanks. Perhaps I should qualify that with... that was my ExH's defence. I didn't believe him and I wouldn't believe Neil Parish.

motherofchihuahuas · 29/04/2022 21:33

I've missed all the news. Did he go on air pissed?

motherofchihuahuas · 29/04/2022 21:34

Has anyone got a link please

Noisyprat · 29/04/2022 21:35

Well according to Sky News he opened the file by mistake.

The Tory party are taking us all for fools. I am so angry.

AnyFucker · 29/04/2022 21:36

his background is irrelevant

What you are seeing here is male entitlement

Rich, poor, working, landed gentry or whatever. They all have something in common. They have a dick.

I’ve actually gone beyond anger. They’re such a joke I find myself wondering just how farcical this can possibly get.
