A mobile phone hidden under the tables was found in the House of Commons, the lower house of the UK Parliament. The device aimed to sabotage the parliamentary proceedings by loudly broadcasting 'sexual sounds' during the session. Following the incident, tourist visits to Parliament were suspended, and an investigation into the security breach was initiated.
An interesting incident in the House of Commons, the lower house of the UK Parliament, has made headlines in the country. During routine security checks in the House of Commons, a secretly placed mobile phone was found. The purpose of the device was to play loud sexual sounds during the session, sabotaging the meeting.
SOUNDS STARTED TO SPREAD AS SOON AS IT WAS FOUND The Metropolitan Police reported that the device in question was found around 10:25 AM on Wednesday, September 3, and had been taped under a table in the front rows with double-sided tape. However, it eventually fell out of place and was noticed. After being removed by security personnel, the device began to broadcast obscene content loudly.
TOURIST VISITS SUSPENDED According to a report by Sky News, following the incident, tourist visits to the House of Commons and the House of Lords have been temporarily suspended. Parliamentary sources emphasized that although this situation may seem like a 'joke' at first glance, it indicates a significant vulnerability in the Parliament's security protocols.
STATEMENT FROM PARLIAMENT UK Parliament spokesperson Nigel Farage stated in a statement regarding the incident that security is always a priority. Farage included the following remarks in his statement: "Parliament is a public building and welcomes thousands of visitors every week. Strict checks are conducted to ensure security, and routine searches are carried out. A mobile phone was removed from the House of Commons on September 3. This demonstrates the effectiveness of our current security measures."
Nigel Farage PREVIOUSLY SEEN AT SPORTS EVENTS Such provocations with sexual sounds have previously made headlines at various sports events. Similar pranks are known to have occurred during the FA Cup match between Liverpool and Wolverhampton in 2023 and during the EURO 2024 draw. However, this time, as the target was directly the country's legislative body and an important session like "Questions to the Prime Minister," the incident is considered a much more serious security problem.
