Just as if things couldn't get any worse for the UK' s establishment after the dismissal of three judges for viewing pornography on business computers the other day, a recent audit of the House of Commons networks has uncovered similar misuse on 63 MP' s machines after following up a dismissed judge's allegation of computer abuse.
Although not necessarily all pornography, it was discovered that our members of parliament have been playing bingo, 'hold em up poker', studying jihadist websites, visiting adult cam sites, bidding on EBay, using the personals on Gumtree, reading Nigella Lawson' s blog, surfing Automart and using the 'dark net' to name a few of points of interest.
One MP has is said to have run up a six figure sum playing bingo and having a shot on the slots on a well known gambling site. It was also suggested that this particular MP had attempted to pass off his spiralling debt as legitimate member's expenses. Another MP is also said to have never been off Facebook where he has been returning again and again to the Facebook of one Edwina Currie.
An official from the UK' s House of Commons said the matter was being looked into but it was becoming increasingly hard to monitor all of the computers in the buildings. 'MP' s can be a naughty bunch at times and a strongly worded email has been sent to them advising of Parliament' s guidelines on internet usage', said civil servant Willie Dutton-Smythe. One MP has had his internet account suspended all together after it was unearthed that he hadn't used his PC in over 4 years.
