'My crime, my most biggest crime, is that on another occasion I went in a second time, and that was deliberate. 'The situation was, funnily enough it was tractors I was looking at, so I did get into another website with sort of a very similar name and I watched it for a bit, which I shouldn't have done,' Mr Parish said.
He said in an interview with BBC South West that he recognised the 'furore' and 'damage' he was causing his family and his constituency in Devon before deciding 'it just wasn't worth carrying on'. The 65-year-old select committee chair, who is a farmer by trade, said he first accidentally viewed the X-rated video after looking at tractors online.
Parish announced he would resign on Saturday after the scandal which was part of a new wave of allegations about the behaviour of MPs after 2017's 'Pestminster' scandal. The chant is a reference to Neil Parish, MP for Tiverton and Honiton who admitted on Friday that he had watched adult content in the House of Commons chamber. When approached for comment by MailOnline, a participant in the chanting replied only: 'Up the Luton'. The boat had reportedly been picked up from Blackfriars according to the family member of a fan on the vessel. In another angle - shot from the south bank of the Thames, the fans can also be seen booing the palace which has seen several high-profile scandals in recent weeks ahead of Thursday's local elections.
The boat - which seems to be hired from Golden Sunrise party boat company - and was full of supporters making their way West down the Thames, presumably to disembark in Putney ahead of the 5.15pm fixture at Craven Cottage against Fulham.
The fans were referencing the outgoing Tory MP for Tiverton and Honiton Neil Parish, pictured, who admitted watching pornography in the House of Commons after he accidentally clicked on an inappropriate video while searching for tractorsĪfter a few seconds, the majority of can be heard singing: 'we can see you, we can see you watching porn!' at Westminster.
