[Politics] Damien Green & porn at work

[Deleted member 2719]

Surely back in the day BPC (Before Personal Computers), MPs just had a Razzle rolled up in their brief case.

Did this ever happen

No excuses!

I am sure he will claim someone else used his laptop.....

This is not the reason he has porn in his search history though.....

Resign or do MP's use their laptops in their own time?

its dodgy, an HR matter really. the denial is probably worse than the offense. and, maybe overlooked, the breach of confidence from the copper reporting it.

I would imagine the copper will be having his collar felt. Data protection, maybe offical secrets act also wasting police time. Just like the 'plebgate' incident and as many of us know, coppers have no compunction in lying, look at Tuesdays performance so we should wait to see where this goes before we start making judgements.

Seems like a witch-hunt over minor stuff really.

So, what are people upset about?
1. He’s been using the internet to do non work stuff? Er, yes, like most people do.
2. He’s been viewing porn? Wow, hold the from page. He has a sexual appetite and likes a bit of porn.

So, only those who have not done either should be able to say he should be sacked. I don’t go for all this “They should be setting standards” crap.

BTW, as a politician, he really doesn’t inspire me. But then again, looking across all political parities, not many do. Maybe they’re always been a bad choice overall and it’s only nastalgia when we look back and think they were principled. They probably werrn’t, but the level of scrutiny was much lower then and more deference to those in authority.

You're missing the point - on his work computer!!!

I have worked for several organisations where this would be instant dismissal, I don't see why a politician should be any different.

Instant dismissal where I work as misuse of company provided equipment

pause for thought that he's sticking to his story, making the cardinal sin of being the story, he cant make this go away its only making it worse. so there is a possibility he didnt view anything? bit odd, but a possibility. it could be that others in his office use the laptop for admin, which is bad security protocol, but thats another matter).

It certainly is a sticky situation.

No I’m not. I get it. The point I’m making the the indignation of so many based on doing stuff which most people have done.

Namely :
1. Using the internet in work time for non work activity.
And
2. Looking at porn.

His crime (assuming it is true and not malicious lies from the sacked copper), is for doing them both together.

As I said in my original post, he doesn’t inspire confidence that he’s a great politician so I don’t really give a shit about him either way.

I think I just find the hypocrisy about porn astounding. Lots of people do it (look at porn), but it becomes heinous it it’s done at work. That’s my point. And yes I do get out that most companies would sack someone for doing that.

If true he's damn stupid - he must be aware that pretty much everything accessed via computer is traceable

Is it ?? ..........oh.....errm.......... I bet my laptop is full of porn after i lent it to [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION]

I can't help but find your post funny, funny that you believe it ok to view porn at work!

Yes many people view porn and why not - just not at work!!!

There was a thread a week or so ago, about how many hours you work a week......I answered about 60.......bloody porn is time consuming eh

I’ve met Damian Green a couple of times as we have mutual friends and I have to say that he doesn’t seem the type to do something as risky as viewing porn on a computer in the Houses of Parliament, of all the possible work places. He is guilty of being a Reading fan, but that’s his upbringing, so shouldn’t be held against him. Being a Tory, however, is rather harder to forgo e.

as i see it, couldn't give a damn he's been watching porn, it's that he got caught and is denying the obvious facts that he was....

What about the other allegations though

He didn't associate with known terrorists representing an organisation responsible for killing men women and children did he? ( ... and trying to kill members of our democratically elected government?) Allegedly viewing legal porn or being a terrorist sympathiser/apologist, I wonder which of these should be a resigning matter in a society with any real values or decency.

 

[WATFORD zero]

At last, a thread where [MENTION=21401]pastafarian[/MENTION] could demonstrate his undoubted expertise and he's only noticeable by his absence

Clearly there is more than one w@nker in this thread...

A bit harsh on Ernest but I understand your reasoning.

But did Mr Green have some REALLY nasty porn bookmarked?
