Hey I don’t think he opened the porn by mistake, but I also don’t buy everyone saying it’s impossible to open porn by mistake. If you were watching porn previously and then looked at something else on your phone, then opened your browser again you might accidentally find yourself watching porn again. I imagine.
You’d then shut down the page very quickly indeed, before anyone could really see it. 
All I know is that if you were in any other job and you watched porn in front of your work colleagues then you’d be fired. Politicians should be held to higher account, not lower. I wonder how many politicians will get away with stuff by saying it happened accidentally and how far they will manage to push this. Sure I gunned down fifty people in Piccadilly Circus, but it was an accident. Ah, fair enough mate. You’re only human.

We have an overflow freezer in the garage. It’s pretty useful to have, especially when you have a Solero addiction like I do. Soleros aren’t always available so it’s good to have a few packs in reserve in case of something like Brexit of Covid, when Soleros are top of everyone’s shopping lists. It’s not the best freezer though and you have to be really careful to close it properly. I am always very careful.
But someone (and there’s nothing to be gained by pointing fingers) had not closed the door properly yesterday. There’s no way of knowing who it was and the fact that I was moving stuff around near the freezer yesterday and might accidentally have nudged  it open in the process is not the reason I am saying that. Whoever was responsible, the door was not completely sealed and all the top shelves of the freezer had defrosted. There was some bread and a pizza that we could rescue (we had pizza for dinner), but the ice cream was ruined. I had to bin Soleros, Fruit Pastille lollies and two tubs of Haagen Daas. It was the worst day of my life.
How could my preparedness be punished like this? There is no god.
