Even though this bloke is a Tory and a brexiteer, what is he doing blocking a bill about filming up the John Hurt?

[youngmafbog]

This is why - and he has a point:

"Sir Christopher is a leading member of a group of backbench Conservatives who make a practice of ensuring that what they see as well-meaning but flabby legislation is not lazily plopped on to the statue book by a few MPs on a poorly attended Friday sitting.

And after all this is a bill to create a new criminal offence, for which people can go to jail.

So, however worthy the cause, he insists on proper, extensive scrutiny, and he has spent most Commons Fridays for the last 20 years doing just that. "

[youngmafbog]

And why are there so few in the House I wonder?

[ToraToraTora]

ok I see, so I assume he's not happy with the detail then?

[anneasquith]

Yet another senseless thread from ttt, how long must this be tolerated . any new members would run a mile from this site .

[youngmafbog]

It would appear so.

Like it says, since this is a jailable offence (which seems odd because most get off jail for all manner of things) it should be water tight.

I see they also want to add people to the sex offenders register, which I think is daft. The register should be for real serious cases to highlight the real sex cases.

[youngmafbog]

Anne, there is absolutely no need for that.

People would probably run a mile looking at you continual attacks of posters and rarely posting anything related to the question.

[bednobs]

it seems utterly ridiculous to me that someone could go to jail for 2 years. I also dont get it - surely surreptitious pictures are not of good quality. Who would get sexual gratification from seeing rubbish pictures of someone's knickers? Just buy a catalogue to **** over

[ToraToraTora]

quite YMB, I have invited all my regular moaners to avoid my threads but they seem strangeley attracted.

[youngmafbog]

It's not right though bednobs, it is a very serious breach of privacy.

And having 3 daughters, one in particular, I know that it may well not just be a picture of someones knickers.

[ToraToraTora]

well you'd think so bednobs, not to mention the whole internet full of p0rn, yet these people seem to be strangely attracted to this activity.

[youngmafbog]

They now have cameras and not just highly polished shoes.

Odd bunch of perverts if you ask me.

[bednobs]

even surreptitious pictures of someones lala cant be all that good quality

[youngmafbog]

True unless flash was used and then you'd think everyone would notice.

It is an odd perversion.

16,28"Anne there is absolutely no need for that" Oh dear.

[gulliver1]

Think Sir Christopher Choper is a D.O.M,

[Theland]

I think the name of the bill was an issue.
But I guess rushed legislation makes for bad law.
Don't know the answer, but this perversion needs stopping either by the courts or by the perv getting his head kicked in.

[Peter Pedant]

agree with Anne

or as free tee might say: fing dang the foo!
sorry da foo! ( essex chav accent slipping)

[gulliver1]

16.22 And to think this bloke is a Tory and a Brexiteer , also he is a leading member, of the backbenchers, who practise, flabby lazy plopping, on the statue book, on a friday sitting. eh.

[Theland]

Maybe he's good to his mum.

[anneasquith]

Look at the BA. What a mockery of common sense this topic has been allowed to become .
