While France has been among the most draconian nations when it comes to allowing online poker sites to operate, don’t tell that to the MPs.
Recently a number of them were photographed playing online poker and reading adult cartoons during France’s National Assembly, according to Sky News.
There are now calls to scramble wireless signals during sessions.
Sky News reported:
One MP, Mathieu Hanotin, admitted to playing online chess while in the chamber during a debate which stretched into the early hours of the morning.
The brazen display is a far cry from the past, when MPs would discreetly hide a newspaper amongst their papers during a debate.
Claude Bartolone, the Socialist speaker, has refused to use a signal scrambling device which has been implemented in the past.
