Upskirting Bill blocked by Sir Christopher Chope

[NonnoMum]

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???

Chope now says he supports the bill and is a victim of scapegoating.

'Sir' Chope, you're only a victim of scapegoating if you didn't do the thing you're accused of, or at least didn't do it alone.

But you did.

Says he only objected to the lack of time to debate the issue.

Perhaps there would have been more time if someone hadn't made 32 timewasting interventions during discussion of a previous bill:

I also hear another Tory, Philip Davies, was filibustering away (as usual).
