Sir Christopher Chope obviously needs real help IMO as anybody in their right mind would support the New upskirting law.:td::(

Re: New upskirting law blocked by Tory MP
He says it's because it's not been properly debated and he is against laws just being put onto the books without proper parliamentary debate. Not entirely unreasonable but this looks really, really bad in terms of PR.

This is where there is daft policies and rules within Parliament, no one person should have the power to kill a bill like that by just shouting 'object'.
The Tories have lost their way, Labour is a disaster party. We are in a political situation of being in absolute Limbo. |

Another knee-jerk law stopped in its tracks by someone being sensible. It should be properly debated first.

I don't think the law itself is stupid, it's more the principle itself that motivated him.

I see it as a preposterous idea. I'll likely write a longer comment on it, once the bill gets to a debate. (Sounds like a horrible idea though). ---------- Post added at 18:33 ---------- Previous post was at 18:30 ---------- Quote:
This bill is absurd, on the merits. Quote:

I think that you can't use a lens to zoom in and there are reasonable grounds of privacy in reasonable areas - expectations etc. Now, I don't even want to get into the absurd hypothetical scenarios that this could effect and end up involving. This is Britain's version of the French law banning whistling - the latest round of Darwin awards time hitting parliament. ---------- Post added at 18:43 ---------- Previous post was at 18:36 ---------- Quote:
https://twitter.com/SkyNewsPolitics/...ry-mp-11405840 What was disgusting was her comments at the end which said that it was a "petty thing to do" (to follow procedure - how dare people get the due process expected of a parliamentarian when passing a bill!) What a piece of work - openly huffing at the idea of her own pet project being thwarted by someone using the framework of the house to analyze something now that "there outta be a law" crowd have picked up steam. ---------- Post added at 18:47 ---------- Previous post was at 18:43 ---------- Quote:

What could the problem with a law stopping people taking shots under woman’s skirts?

I am 5 foot 10 inches tall...and sadly have a propensity to wear ridiculously short skirts. (Forgive me on that - I age with no dignity).
If a random kid (who is shorter than me) takes a picture and it is at the height of my waist I don't want him charged and tried for something that I see no bad intent in. If I am bent over and someone else takes a picture, I kind of have to suck that up. Personal responsibility goes a long way. If I chose to wear something short / kinky I kind of need to live with that. Taking a picture as a joke, is not worthy of being labelled a pervert. The lines of ambiguity are kind of all over the place here, too. Does it have to be directly below the skirt? What are the odds of that? Or for example, would taking this picture now be a crime: https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...1&d=1529086301 Damien, if I choose to dress in a way that leaves me embarrassed why should that then infringe upon everyone else to the extent that we need a new law / make them weary of using a camera around a woman with a loose / short skirt? |

Re: New upskirting law blocked by Tory MP
Looking at some of the links in that article Damien, those issues seem the most severe and some of them shouldn't even be crimes. If you are sat at a bus stop and your dress is flowy / loose it should not be a crime to take a picture of you in it, should it? If there is an upskirt...again, do you want to infringe on the right of every person taking a photograph, just in case?
