Anyone as outraged as i am that just one single white male member of the establishment can block a bill making upskirting illegal?
Who, in their right mind, would think that putting a camera up a girl or woman's skirt to take photos of her genitals or underwear, without her consent, is an acceptable thing to do?
And could anyone with more parliamentary and or legal experience than me explain how this happened???

He's one nasty bastard.

How the hell someone can think that taking photos like that is ok is beyond me. Fucking pervert.

Anyone can block a private member's bill which is one of the many reasons they are so difficult to get through.

I havent seen an explanation, perhaps either he thinks private member's bills are an abuse of parliament or he thinks that the offence is covered by existing legislation.

He has a majority - a MAJORITY - of 25000 voters.

OK - so there is another thread about this. Couldn't find it earlier.
