British Parliament Member Accidentally Tweets URL Of Porn Site

Rob Wilson, MP for Reading East, meant to post a link to a blog about a complaint against the BBC.

Instead, Mr Wilson sent internet users to "Sexydigg.com", which was promoting "hardcore sex", "adult videos" and "free porn".

The aide to Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, quickly removed the posting from the internet, but not before people had noticed his mistake.

Sources said Mr Wilson had been sent the link by Conservative Party headquarters and simply copied and pasted it on to his Twitter feed.

He is understood to be very annoyed and embarrased by the episode, which appears to not have been his fault.
