Prosecutors in Rebekah Brooks' hacking trial have revealed the contents of the two binbags her husband Charlie Brooks is alleged to have dumped in a car park to avoid discovery by police. The inventory suggests that while he was packing up laptops and notebooks, he also took the opportunity to prune his porn stash:



So many questions. Where's Lesbian Psychodramas volume 1?* How do I join the British Kunekune Pig Society? Why were they getting rid of a toothbrush? (Don't answer that.)

While the rest of us ponder whether an Instant Lesbian goes in the microwave, spare a thought for Jacqui Smith and the delicious schadenfreude she must be feeling. In 2009, when Rebekah Brooks was the editor of The Sun, the paper showed all the restraint you'd expect when it was revealed that the then-Home Secretary's husband had watched pay-per-view porn films and charged them to his wife's parliamentary expenses account. Wringing every last drop of erotic goodness from the story, the Sun ran a reader's poll:



And another one:



And even rustled up an enlightening interview:



But now, thanks to an insane sequence of events, the tables have turned and Brooks is suffering her very own porn filth shame. Her husband's alleged actions also mean we can guess how Brooks would answer her own polls: no, owning smut is not a dumpable offence (assuming it's Charlie's), and yes, porn is a dirty secret, especially if the police are about to search the premises.

It remains to be seen whether The Sun will show its ex-editor as much lip-smacking attention as it did Smith (70s porn star Rebecca Brooke died in 2012, so one opportunity has already been lost) - but at least we can take solace in the fact that Bride of Sin ("Whether she’s ****ing, ****ing, or getting bound to a giant cross, she’s a sheer joy to watch") has been mentioned in the Old Bailey.

*Maybe they never bought volume 1 - it does have the disturbing subtitle, 'I Love You Mommy'. Then again, it's been well reviewed by the internet: "I was a little nervous going into Lesbian PsychoDramas, but it quickly drew me in and left me more than satisfied" - so maybe it's still buried in a sock drawer.
