ChrisJones 7,975 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 A law to punish the practice of 'upskirting' with potential prison time has been blocked by a senior Tory MP. Sir Christopher Chope objected to the private members bill for as of yet undisclosed reasons and no doubt raised a few eyebrows about the potential contents of his internet search history. Chope is no stranger to controversy. He objected to the Hillsborough debate on the basis that MP's pensions were more important. He objected to the pardon of Alan Turing and also filibustered a bill that would make landlord revenge evictions an offence. All round solid Tory by all accounts.

bell 3,591 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Surely not ?....if a young maidens attire is such that it falls below the standard length expected then is not one entitled to engage in a spot of ‘upskirting’....(what a great word...upskirting...upskirting...upskirting.......there, that’s better....) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless of attire should one be taking photographs of young maidens without their permission? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
king 11,972 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 I bet ginger beard is happy it's been blocked so he can continue to shuffle through the isles with his long cream mack on while preying on the over 65s. Then once home he will be viewing his sordid pictures while throwing himself around the living room knob in hand. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 Just another example of how out of touch these people are. Remember he gets around 100k a year. Any other job he would be out on his ear. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any other job he would be out on his ear. no its not, this guy has a legal background and maybe realises that the legislation being voted through (on a quiet day when no f****r turns up to vote) has many loopholes or is too general to pass with no debate, would any of you asses call him a cnut if he didn't object to new laws over hunting and shooting just because some dick tried to get them through when no f****r turned up with braincells and decided it was not well thought through, you should all be very happy that any MP is there and thinks new laws need proper thinking from more people than the ones that turn up Fridays to sleep off a boozy lunch 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
