yes they can easily end that dude's career if they want

[Underscore]

So in a poll 96% support the new law.
Every party leadership supports it.
There would probably be a super majority to pass in Parliament.

Yet one MP can stop it in its tracks.
Wow, well done tradition!

"Yet one MP can stop it in its tracks."

Yes one objection
can stop it.
That's the UK Parliament System

[Tory MP Sir Christopher Chope blocks proposed upskirting law to cries of 'shame']

[Matthew.]

he looks like a MASSIVE bellend who makes tea by putting in the milk first, he DEFINITELY takes pineapple up his pizza and you can just tell by looking at the state of him that he probably wears socks and sandals.

Twat.

Him and Philip Davies seem to have form for trying to have their voices heard in the most deplorable given opportunities. A disgusting little cockroach.

[Tom4784]

What an utter wankstain of a human being.

[Shaun]

I've seen calls for "upskirting" to henceforth be called "chopeing".

[Beso]

Its banned in scotland where it was called upkilting.
..maybe thats the issue with this herbert...
Its only a womans dignity afterall.

[MTVN]

Apparently he does this quite a lot when he thinks a bill is being rushed through too hurriedly while there are only a few MPs in the House

It will pass next time

[Livia]

Silly old ****ard. It's always sex with the Tories and money with Labour.

No it won't - it will be talked out of time, and rightly so.

Besides it is not needed as there are already adequate laws to deal with this. We do not need to waste parliamentary time to create a new law that can send people to prison when we have quite enough laws on the statute book thank you very much!!!

Such people as this MP are a welcome check and balance system when people all start jumping on bandwagons needlessly. Anyone remember the fiasco of the Dangerous Dogs Act?

There is a 100% solution to preventing so called upskirting, wear trousers, it's not rocket science.

Oh and before you ask, I have absolutely no interest in looking up any skirt whatsoever

Yeah! Let's gloss over the fact that the man's at fault and blame the woman for wearing a skirt! That's a good idea!

**** no. That's victim blaming and it's an attitude that's allowed rape and sexual assault to thrive. The solution to upskirting is to not take pictures of someone's underwear without their consent. Why is it so hard for people to hold men accountable for their own godamn actions?

As for your other 'points' regarding laws. The system is utterly ****ed when it comes to sexual crimes and your post is a good example of why that's the case. Why hold a rapist accountable for their own actions when you can blame it on the victim for what she's wearing? It's never the men's fault for taking these pictures, it's the women's for daring to not wear trousers!

Sexual assault and harassment is a problem, if we need to introduce more laws (and hopefully, a complete overhaul when it comes to trials involving sexual assault) to prevent it from happening then so be it.

I can't. I just can't with this post.
