    Ohhhhhhhhhhh the irony!!!!! It wasn’t one of Des’ publications was it???

  2. Original Paul

    I wonder which channel the movies were on? nothing to do with Dirty Des I hope.

    Political sex sleaze is so tame these days. Once upon a time Tory MPs were dropping dead in fatal wanking accidents and John Major was giving Edwina Currie a good seeing to in the bath. Now, all we get is the Home Sec’s husband jerking off to a couple of blue movies. Bet there wasn’t even any back door action in them. Rubbish.

    Taking the Home Sec job is the political equivalent of taking a Defence Against the Dark Arts teaching post at Hogwarts. I don’t know why anyone bothers.

    “Taking the Home Sec job is the political equivalent of taking a Defence Against the Dark Arts teaching post at Hogwarts. I don’t know why anyone bothers”

    Lol! Brilliant. The question is, who jinxed the position?

    I don’t think she should go, I find the whole thing quite funny. It was wrong of her to buy porn on her expenses (and pretty bloody stupid) but I honestly think expecting ministers to be perfect means you are bound to be lied to. Was the porn a dirty des flick?

  5. Graham T

    I think most reasonable people will accept that this was more than likely an administrative error rather than some attempt to use expenses for flick movies; so for parity shouldn’t Express journalists quit every time they make an administrative error, such as innacurate reporting of stories? if so they’d end up with a new ‘journalism’ team every day.

  6. Graham T

    I realised that in my previous post I referred to the bullshit-mongers at the express as journalists, apologies to real journalists if I’ve offended you, won’t do it again.

    “The question is, who jinxed the position?”

    Easy: if anyone is politics’ Voldemort, it must be Michael “touch of the night” Howard. I bet the job’s been jinxed ever since he ceased to hold the position in 1997.

    This is shaping up into a great film. I think I’ll cast Ruth Kelly as the boy wizard himself.

    Nothing funnier (or more ironic) than an ‘Express Crusade’ to clean up Britain. Thank God they’re here to campaign for greater morality!

  9. Steven

    If everyone who made an admin error was sacked, the whole nation would be unemployed.

    If everyone who’s been in a relationship with an idiot was sacked, the whole nation would be unemployed.

    If everyone who looked at a bit of porn was sacked, the whole nation would be unemployed.

    Nothing to see here.

    I could see Michael Howard making seven Horcurx’s and going on a quest for immortality. Figures. Quite frankly David Cameron is a Horcrux, Tony Blair’s!

    Yeah and being legally available broadcast rudery you can bet it’s “porn” only by the sense of being the usual and most repressed ‘traditional’ British stuff.

    Britain ends up with the worst stuff going.
    All that ’soft’ (ie a long permanent tease from the seemingly continually available) porn nonsense and nobody actually seen having & enjoying sex.

    ‘Soft’ porn is, in my opinion, the really pervy stuff (and, ironically, the more likely to lead to weird and possibly ideas in the insecure & less mature/developed).
    Which is why Holland can have so-called ‘hard-core porn in quite open view in the high street and still have lower incidences of sex crime.

    This ’story’ is just BS.
    A small mistake was made in an expenses claim and is being returned.
    It’s connected to ’sex’ (even better, Smith’s husband presumably having solo male w@nking sex – I’m surprised they didn’t call it a ‘romp’ in that 1950’s infantile way they do ) so it’s supposed supposed to embarrass her out of her job.

    As if the standard ‘a man masturbated the other day’ could be applied anywhere.
    FFS.

    Pathetic.

  12. Mail Man

    Oops.

    “and possibly ideas in the insecure & less mature/developed”

    should have read

    and possibly damaging ideas in the insecure & less mature/developed

  13. antigherkin

    You’ve seen Duke of Knockers as well then, Mail Man?

  14. Tony

    It does seem odd that they would even think that claiming expenses for TV (the fact that it was porn is IMO irrelevant) would be remotely justified. Try to get that past most accounts departments and you’d be able to hear the laughing halfway across the street…

  15. MatthewS

    I think its pritty obvious it was an administrative mistake, no-one however brazen would claim porn on an expense account. The irony is amazing though, if the Express standard was applied to everyone, (ie anyone in their family looks at porn=sacked) then I think “Asian babes” would close down pritty quickly!

  16. Steven

    It’s still stunningly ironic that a newspaper owned by a pornographer is calling for the resignation of someone based on the fact her husband watched some porn.

    I wonder how many readers are aware of Desmond or his history? I bet barely any. Or that he continues to own broadcast porn channels and also publishes the Star which routinely runs adverts for sex chat lines and porn DVDs.

    Fucking hypocrite, and the people who read this are the worst kind of blind, moronic sheep.

  17. Stevie H

    I’ve got nothing against the spouse of the Home Secretary ransacking his dignity at home behind closed doors.

    I just don’t want it shoved down my throat.

    (Thank you, thank you, I’m here all week, take my mother-in-law…please! etc etc)

  18. Bubbles

    Maddona in dead blonde’s corner?
    She is neither dead or a real blonde, DE has got it wrong again.

  19. Adrian

    Did a Tory MP really drop dead in a fatal wanking accident?

  20. Matthew

    Stephen Milligan died in 1994 performing a bizarre ’sex act’ involving oranges………. It’s always been a bit vague what actually happened.

  21. NJH

    “John Major was giving Edwina Currie a good seeing to in the bath”

    Maybe the video Mr Smith was watching was CCTV from Downing Street circa 1993.

  22. Stevie H

    I thought Stephen Milligan was dressed in black lingerie, with an orange soaked in Amyl Nitrite in his mouth, whilst tugging one off? Their may also have been a ligature involved, and possibly a door – or I might be getting him confused with him off of INXS.

  23. Matt Hurst

    Umm what is with the space dog on the Tv, what kind of TV Program is that?

  24. Mail Man

    ‘Auto-erotic asphyxiation’ is the correct term, I believe.

    Michael Hutchence is supposed to have been killed by it too (without the stockings, oranges and possibly during a long-distance phone & tug session on the phone to his partner Paula Yates).

  25. Stevie H

    Now Paula Yates IS dead. AND blonde!!

    Madge just looks a bit like Christopher Walken in that picture.

  26. Antigherkin

    No-one’s mentioned how Stephen Milligan actually died: he was hanging himself during his wanking session with women’s undies, benzadrine-soaked orange etc. That’s the “auto-erotic asphyxiation” part, indulged in also by Michael Hutchence and apparently the boys at Eton. I’m not sure why Milligan felt the addition of lingerie and an orange was also necessary. Those 80s Tories knew how to do sex sleaze.

  27. Al

    Funny how the Express broke this story and now The Star is reporting they know what films were watched:

    HUMILIATED Home Secretary Jacqui Smith’s husband enjoyed a skin flick called Raw Meats 3, we can reveal. A source in the adult movie industry said: “Raw Meats would be amateur girls rather than models and erotic stars. Customers get a kick out of the girl-next-door quality. That’s what Raw Meats is all about.”

    And it seems that the films were on Television X. Now how are all these things connected? Hmmm…
