Seems that Damian Green spends most of his working day viewing pornography at the taxpayers expense and then lies about it when accused of doing so.

Anyone think that is acceptable behavior?

Personally don't mind him looking at porn in his own time, possibly even the occasional glance whilst at work is ok too, but several hours and presumably regularly too, and then to lie about it, not really on IMO.

There but for the grace of Lewis Dunk go many NSCers... (one might imagine...)

Just far enough away from LDC
I think i read that all the content was legal. As in many cases if it is proved he did do it, the cover up rather than the initial incident will be what does for him

its dodgy, an HR matter really. the denial is probably worse than the offense. and, maybe overlooked, the breach of confidence from the copper reporting it.

The thing is I think it is accepted that tons of porn was on his computer, he just says it wasn't him who accessed it, but this detective has come out and said it was accessed whilst he was logged on and using his computer to do actual work?

He just wanted his software to become hardware.

There was a massive spike in toilet roll usage in cubicle number 3, that's what did for him.

Just read the story, I think the only person in any legal bother is the ex-copper.

This, currently. Any offence should have been dealt with in 2008. Ex-coppers can't just start spouting allegations nearly ten years later.

But it does sound like Green might have more to answer next week.

Seems like a witch-hunt over minor stuff really.

So, what are people upset about?
1. He’s been using the internet to do non work stuff? Er, yes, like most people do.
2. He’s been viewing porn? Wow, hold the from page. He has a sexual appetite and likes a bit of porn.

So, only those who have not done either should be able to say he should be sacked. I don’t go for all this “They should be setting standards” crap.

BTW, as a politician, he really doesn’t inspire me. But then again, looking across all political parities, not many do. Maybe they’re always been a bad choice overall and it’s only nastalgia when we look back and think they were principled. They probably werrn’t, but the level of scrutiny was much lower then and more deference to those in authority.

I have never looked at porn at work, let alone the amount it appears he has done; if I did I would be most likely sacked.

Then there is the fact he is paid by the taxpayer to work, not view porn.

Then there is the fact he is lying publicly about it.

So yes I have never done what he has done so on that basis I am able to say he should be sacked, or at the very least be reprimanded.

It's bad all round, Green has been naughty when he should have been working and the ex-copper must surely be breaking some kind of rule(s) for revealing the confidential results of an investigation. No chance of anyone looking at porn in my place, it's impossible to even get the BBC thanks to all the protocols and firewalls.

Have you ever used the internet at work for non work stuff during work time? That was question 1 of the 2 questions BTW.

If so, then I assume you’d be sacked, as I would think that would be against official company proactice after all, you’re paid to work and not surf the internet surely.
