Wotchu lookin' at - you are under arrest!

Post by Rum » Fri Jun 15, 2018 11:17 am

I have no wish to defend looking up the skirts of the fairer sex (I know I'm not allowed to call them that). but making it a sexal offence??

A 'cross party bill' has been accepted which will make it so.

I couldn't be arsed reading the article, but wouldn't this be about photography? If so, it seems reasonable to make it an offence to take pictures up people's skirts.

Yes it is. However I would have thought existing laws (voyeurism for example) would have sufficed.

Was hoping for some sexist fun with this thread. Serves me right. :sadcheer:

Ah ok, yeah, I missed the bit about it being a sekshual fence. This is all the social justice warriors fault. Our societies are under attack by these people. Pretty soon you'll be convicted of rape if you stare at the breasts of a person who identifies as female. Jordan Petersen for President!!

Must be a thing for some people. What is to be seen though? Hardly much potential for variety with the undercarriage. It's like those who take dick pics. What is the point? They are all, for all intents and purposes, the same. :roll:

The bill was blocked by Christopher Chope...
Chope’s speciality in the Commons has been filibustering or otherwise blocking bills. In 2013 he delayed a bill to posthumously pardon the second world war code breaker Alan Turing. The following year he “talked out” a bill intended to stop the eviction of tenants who complained about their housing. In 2011 he tried to block a debate on the Hillsborough disaster.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/ ... rting-bill
He proposed 47 private members' bills of his own last year - none of which were passed.

Apparently (I use the word advisedly) he crashed it because it had not been debated and any MP can stop a bill that looks like it will be passed unanimously by verbally objecting. He was objecting on this principle he later said.

It will get through in due course I guess. I'm still not convinced it needed a seperate new law though.

The Daily Mail is calling for Sir Christopher Chope to be stripped of his knighthood. Knighthoods are of course conditional the Mail's Kinighthood Approval Committee.

It was to be an amendment to existing voyeurism legislation to counter the apparent ambiguity in the Act which made it difficult for the CPS to forward an adequate justification for prosecution.

We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Jess Phillips is fekkin furious...
...
The bunch of MPs who spend their Fridays filibustering to dismantle the hard work of backbenchers trying to change the country claim that they do it for parliamentary scrutiny. They invent a million ways of exclaiming that the only reason they stop new laws is because they find some tiny element of the bill imperfect. Have a look at Hansard from any Friday and see Chope and Philip Davies intervening on each other over tiny detail, then constantly congratulating the other for their brilliance like some kind of legislative circle jerk.

Chope will no doubt lean on this defence to explain why he objected to a bill that would have made sexual offenders of perverts who instead of calling their mothers are using their iPhones as their only chance of ever seeing a vagina. He will exclaim that the bill needed more scrutiny. I dare say he will claim he fully supports the bill. I call bullshit on that. He doesn’t care less about women who have suffered this indignity....
