Here in the US he’d get a re-elected/promotion from the GQP’ers/KKKpublicans.

the first time was accidental after looking at a tractor website, but the second time was deliberate
Was that vest accidental or deliberate?

The vest is there to divert your attention elsewhere, it looks to have worked.

Am I alone in wondering exactly what sort of porn you accidentally run into while looking at tractors?
Hot, barely ISO 5675:2021-compliant, general purpose quick-action hydraulic coupling?
(edit: ISO 5675:2021 is real enough; but I’m not paying 38 Swiss franks for only 5 pages, even from the…fertile…minds of ISO/TC 23/SC 4. They do seem to have it all, though. quick-action hydraulic coupling; rear-mounted and front-mounted three-point linkage, remote control hydraulic cylinders, telescopic tipping cylinders, piton-type coupling, non-swivel clevis couplings…)

A posh farmer “country gentleman willing to get his hands dirty” signifier, quite ill-chosen for the moment.

He says it was a “moment of madness” and Boing Boing can confirm that there is indeed a film by that name on xhamster.
Rob always taking one for the team.
Is…is he wearing some sort of sporting vest with a button down shirt and tie??

As well, I have a hunting vest that was bequeathed to me by an old military friend, but I can and do carry it off better than that chap, I don’t mind saying…

Given the tendency of fertility deities and agriculture deities to either be one and the same or have closely overlapping portfolios; I can only assume that tractor porn is older than rule 34; and only limited in age by the comparatively late advent of tractors.
(edit: it predates tractors by a bit, so it isn’t ideal; but should we give Sonnet III’s use of distinctly agricultural metaphors a nod in light of Shakespear’s outsize influence on modern English?)

Be nice. It hasn’t been confirmed that the pornography in question was produced either involuntarily or under suitably exploitative and degrading conditions.
The hostile work environment angle of watching it in front of your colleagues ensures at least some credit; but if you want a promotion out of it you’d better be prepared to demonstrate moral turpitude above and beyond the call of duty.

That needs to be in the conservative GQP handbook.

Apparently, poor judgement is a common theme for him.

From Wikipedia, “Parish is married to Susan, whom he employed as a junior secretary…”
So, not only is Susan very disappointed in her husband, she is out of a job too!
Maybe Susan will write Neil a “Deere John” letter?

Of all the things he could be doing on his phone at work, in public, he thought, “yeah, porn is the best choice.”
Someone needs to tell this guy about Spelling Bee.

“The situation was that – funnily enough it was tractors I was looking at,” he said. “I did get into another website that had a very similar name and I watched it for a bit which I shouldn’t have done."
Teach him to search for ‘Deep plough’.
