May 'disappointed' at upskirting law block

Theresa May says she is "disappointed" an attempt to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales did not progress through Parliament after one of her own MPs blocked it. Conservatives have criticised Sir Christopher Chope for objecting to the private member's bill.

If passed, it could see someone who has secretly taken a photo under a victim's skirt face up to two years in prison. The PM said she wanted to see it pass soon "with government support". Minister for Women, Victoria Atkins, said the government will allocate time for the bill in Parliament to ensure it does not get pushed down the list of private members' bills, which would mean it could some time to return to the Commons.

[...] Sir Christopher has yet to speak out about why he blocked the bill but upskirting victim Gina Martin - who started the campaign for the new law - said he had told her he objected to it "on principle" because it "wasn't debated". She also told the BBC that he said he "wasn't really sure" what upskirting was. "I said, 'well, I can help you with that'," Ms Martin added.

The bill was expected to sail through the Commons on Friday, but parliamentary rules mean it only required one MP to shout "object" to block its progress. Sir Christopher's intervention was met with shouts of "shame" from other MPs.

    "...he's got mirrors on the toes of his shoes" ...

    ( apologies to Paul Simon whose lyrics I have "paraphrased", above )

    Seriously, it doesn't get much more pathetic than looking up some woman's skirt. I mean, if that's the best you can do, you ought to follow the example of the willing cuckold Anthony Bourdain and put yourself out of your misery.

      The child whimpered, "I want my mommy!"
      The man replied, "Don't worry. She's right in that room. Go see her."

      The little boy walked up to the door the man pointed at and entered the room slowly. What the boy saw when he entered the room was his mother. Yes, it was his mother, but something was wrong; she was naked and lying on the ground, and she didn't seem to be moving or breathing. Upon closer inspection, one could see hundreds of small stab wounds on her back and massive amounts of blood everywhere. The child was so traumatized by this that he didn't even notice the hideous man walking up to him. The man grabbed the boy and began his feast.

      "It's way too good! Much better than your mommy's!" the man screeched, as he violently thrust his penis in and out of the boy's anus from behind. As the man pumped his hips, he stabbed the boy's back with a screwdriver. "Take this, and this!" the generous man bellowed. The child screamed and cried harder than he ever had before, but this only served as sustenance to the man. Eventually, the man reached his limit and shot all he had into the boy's nubile rectum. Within minutes, the child slumped down onto the ground and showed no signs of moving ever again.

      Satisfaction. Now, time to retrieve the next child's mother...

    Besides mirrors and phone cameras, men can also stand around open staircases...

      Twisted pathetic pretenses of men can also stand around staircases. Why ? Because no real man would engage in such behavior, since a real man can get all the pussy he wants when he wants it.

      Feel free to kill yourself if you are not a real man. The world will be just fine without your pathetic inferior loser self.
