LONDON — A British lawmaker says he is resigning after admitting to watching pornography on his mobile phone in the House of Commons chamber.
Conservative member of Parliament Neil Parish told the BBC he had experienced a “moment of madness” and that “I was not proud of what I was doing.” Parish, who has a farming background, said the first of two times he viewed the pornography was accidental after viewing tractors, but the second time was deliberate, according to the BBC.
“The situation was that — funnily enough it was tractors I was looking at,” Parish, 65, told the broadcaster in a TV interview. “I did get into another website that had a very similar name and I watched it for a bit, which I shouldn’t have done. But my crime, biggest crime, is that on another occasion I went in a second time.”
