If some of the BJP members in the Karnataka State Legislative Assembly are still embarrassed over their alleged porn surfing a year ago, here is bigger news of how elected representatives use their official computers to enjoy hardcore pornography, albeit not in our country.
According to a report in Daily Mail, parliamentary computers are being used to view hardcore pornography featuring sadomasochism and foot and fat fetishism. In a shocking discovery, it was found that the X-rated websites have been accessed more than 2,500 times on computers used by MPs, peers and their staff.
The report says that gay cruising websites have also been visited a further 3,500 times along with obscure erotica sites – including one showing naked women posing with cats. Asked for an explanation, a parliamentary spokesman claimed the sites may have been “visited accidentally”.
The Mail claims to have obtained the information through a Freedom of Information enquiry. It covers a 14-month period between May 2011 and July 2012. The visits are a breach of parliamentary IT rules, which bar online ‘pornography’, ‘nudity’ and ‘adult/mature content’.
It was earlier reported by The Mail that parliamentary computers were used to click thousands of times on a website that encourages adulterous affairs.
Harry Potter, a barrister specialising in obscenity cases was quoted as saying: ‘Having viewed the material, it does not in my opinion fall foul of the law as constituting extreme pornography. It is, however, undoubtedly hardcore pornography.’
The report further says that a variety of foot fetish websites – which include pornographic images of lurid sex acts involving feet – have been viewed 470 times. Another website featuring an array of pictures of naked women lying next to cats has been viewed 17 times.
According to the report, a Polish pornography website was accessed 292 times in May 2011. In the same month, a dating website was clicked on 653 times. The website boasts it is ‘dedicated to connecting fun-loving singles across the UK’.
Further shocker by the report: “A gay dating website was accessed 2,828 times in May 2011. The website states it provides a ‘platform for the gay and bisexual male and transgender community.” And here is the most bizarre news: another website that allows users to pick which MPs have ‘the most sex-appeal’ has been clicked on 12,371 times.
So, should we understand that politics and porn go hand in hand?
