I saw this - but what happens if we have a general election? Will the bill be dumped?

Does anyone know how this is worded?

I'm just so used to laws being twisted to punish women, even when they're created to protect them, that I can't help but think this is being let through because it's going to let people be prosecuted for something else - eg. taking pictures of the police in public.

I’m happy if this becomes law.

It scares me that we can have no expectation of privacy underneath our clothes.

I don’t know feminist - do they have to start again with their campaign?
