Me too. And the fact that there was actually nothing illegal on the machine compounds that. Someone has an axe to grind... And frankly I'd feel the same whichever party was involved. This is not on.

Furthermore, I am assured that when you visit porn sites you pick up all kinds of pop ups and add ons. This whole story is a complete waste of time and money.

I personally don't believe he deserves to lose his position but 'we' the people who employ him, deserve to know he's been a dirty boy.

Except he wasn't. Was he. And unless there is proof that he actually visited and interacted with those sites during his work time (ignoring the claim that "his pants were down and he was ja**ing off in a parliamentary office" which is purely fictional embroidery added by you), then you're going to have a hard time smearing anyone.

The reason the ex-policemen revealed this is easy: they are not Tories. And believe me, if this was a Labour politician and people outed him over what is a non-story, I'd be just as irritated.

I really couldn't agree with you more. It doesn't really matter who he is or what party he is from, this sort of 'outing' when what was found wasn't illegal is disgusting. Where is a the level of trust all citizens are entitled to with the police when innocent of a crime? I think whoever leaked this information should be prosecuted.

And as it turns out, it's likely they will be prosecuted.

What could they be prosecuted for?...
