British MP Caught Playing Candy Crush On iPad In Parliament

Darpan News Desk IANS, 08 Dec, 2014 11:48 AM
    A British MP was caught playing Candy Crush, a popular puzzle game, on his iPad while attending a parliamentary committee meeting.
     
    Conservative Party MP Nigel Mills was caught playing the hit online game Candy Crush Saga during a meeting of the works and pensions committee, of which he is a member, The Guardian reported Monday.
     
    Amber Valley MP Nigel Mills was elected in 2010.
     
    "There was a bit of the meeting that I wasn't focusing on and I probably had a game or two," said Nigel Mills.
     
    "I shouldn't do it but if you check the meeting I would say I was fully engaged in asking questions that I thought were particularly important in how we get the pensions issue right. I shall try not to do it in the future."

    When, in mid-1945, the allied armies advancing across Western Europe were ordered to halt to enable the marauding Soviet forces perform the final denouement of the Second World War by capturing Berlin, it sowed the seeds of the Cold War that lasted almost half-a-century and whose present-day ramifications are there for all to see.
