Neil Parish resigns, admits he sought ‘tractor porn’ in Home of Commons

Neil Parish, the Tory member of Parliament who stated he unintentionally opened “tractor porn” on his cellphone within the Home of Commons, resigned his seat Saturday and admitted that he had intentionally considered the racy movies within the chamber.

The 65-year-old conservative legislator had a “second of insanity,” he stated, when he appeared up X-rated content material throughout an idle second when he was ready for a vote.

The previous farmer stated that he first got here throughout the obscure on-line erotica — which seems to narrate to a sexual place — by probability whereas taking a look at tractors on his cell phone — then strayed to an internet site with a “very comparable title,” the Sunday Instances of London reported.

Parish stated he watched the NSFW video “for a bit, which I shouldn’t have achieved.”

However on the second event, the married father of two admitted he appeared for the porn intentionally — and was caught within the act by two feminine MPs, who filed a proper criticism.

Parish stated he made a “full apology” to the legislators, insisting that it was “not my intention to intimidate” them.

His resignation got here lower than 24 hours after he declared he would refuse to go away his seat except he was discovered responsible.

However a refrain conservative colleagues informed him in any other case — fearing voter backlash forward of native elections on Thursday.

“It was arduous to see how he may come again, given the general public publicity,” one MP stated.
