UK politician watches pornography in parliament – level 2
06-05-2022 15:00
Neil Parish was a member of the British Conservative Party; he announced that he would resign as an MP.
Two of Parish’s female colleagues saw Parish watch pornography in Parliament. Parish said that he watched the site twice. The first time was an accident when he was looking for a website about tractors. Then, he returned to the site again, and he admitted that he was wrong.
Parish apologized to his wife and family, and he said that he would wait for the result of an inquiry. Later, he changed his mind because some politicians were too angry, and Parish couldn’t continue in his job.
Difficult words: MP (a Member of Parliament), pornography (books, magazines, or films which show people having sex), inquiry (an official request for information).
