Former Scotland Yard detective claims ’thousands’ of pornographic images found on British MP’s computer
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 01, 2017

A retired Scotland Yard detective has claimed that ’thousands’ of pornographic images were discovered on UK Cabinet minister Damian Green’s computer during a raid on his Westminster office in 2008.

Friends of the embattled Cabinet minister have accused former police officers of seeking to blacken his name, after it was alleged that thousands of pornographic images had been found on his work computer.

Retired Scotland Yard detective Neil Lewis told the BBC he was “shocked” at the volume of material found in a 2008 raid on Mr Green’s Westminster office and had “no doubt whatsoever” that it had been amassed by the Tory MP.

He stressed that none of the images were “extreme”, but said analysis of the computer suggested they had been viewed “extensively” over a three-month period, sometimes for hours at a time.

2. How embarrassing. And how hard does he work, to have all that hobby material on his work PC?

But it's not illegal, is it?

You know...this sex thing re men is just way more widespread than I thought.

A seemingly pointless, titillating story IMHO ... unless perhaps the dude is heavily associated with so-called Values and railed about Pronz all the time or something, in which case ... okay. So he's a hypocritical wingnut. That's new.

David Davis made clear he was ready to quit the Cabinet if Damian Green was unfairly fired over allegations of porn and inappropriate behaviour, it was revealed today.

Sources said the Brexit Secretary had “put his cloak around” the embattled Mr Green in an effort to toughen Theresa May’s resolve to defend her deputy.

The disclosure came as a retired Scotland Yard detective alleged that “thousands” of pornographic images were found on Mr Green’s computer in 2008.

A mutual friend of Mr Davis and Mr Green said: “David would find it quite difficult to stay in his job and not resign if Damian was pushed out because of anything related to what happened 10 years ago.”
