Incredible that she survived--from 4,00o feet! She must have been very fit and unbelievably lucky.

I think I read that she was saved by landing in very soft ground. I also read she made a full recovery. Nuts.

He turned up as a volunteer at the charity I was working for last Christmas. Was a creepy fucker, started stalking the girl I was seeing at the time. He was politely requested not to come back.

What a grade one weapon

Really weird. What's his motive?

Just read that. What possible justification (that you'd be willing to admit) could you have for opposing that? How do people keep voting Tory?

Reading his Wikipedia page he seems like a total cunt, luckily this has been noted.

this is the same sphincter that objected to a debate about hillsborough taking place because he wanted to chat about MP's salaries.

tory, obvs.

He also voted against an investigation into allegations of bullying by John Bercow

there was a time not so long ago when misogynist shits like these two and that needle dicked fuckface phillip davies would have been ashamed to make their hatefilled opinions known in public. what changed?

police are currently only able to pursue offences of outraging public decency or as a crime of voyeurism.

The new law would change that, bringing it in line with other voyeurism offences.

It would also allow, in the most serious cases, those convicted to be placed on the sex offenders register.

I guess there's an argument to say it's already covered under voyeurism laws and doesn't require a specific offence.

Without knowing enough about how it fits in to existing legislation it's hard to make informed comment. But if, as it stands, the law prevents serious and habitual offenders being put on the register then it does seem a bit lacking.... although I guess you could make an argument against the sex offenders register, as it unfairly prioritises(?) sexual offenses over say violent ones.

But still seems like a dick move, and the lack of any other opposition supports it.

Currently, victims in England and Wales are forced to seek prosecution through other legal avenues, such as outraging public decency or harassment.

Chope mouthfucked a pig, there's no doubt about it.

I don't have a link to it, but Mrs hugo7 read a really detailed story on it.

It's nuts.

He also tried to blow her up with a gas leak.

and the lack of any other opposition supports it

Except for this cunt https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/tory-mps-philip-davies-sir-12715459

who is an enthusiast for more stop and searches of "ethnic minorities"

Right.

I'm just saying that there's an argument against creating new specific laws against offences when there's already a route to prosecute.

I don't have time right now to check what the respective tests are for each offense. But if anyone is knowledgeable on the subject I'd be really interested.

For me the thing that jumped out is being added to the sex offenders register, (guessing) making it a specific sexual offense.

How do people keep voting Tory?

2017 GE 69.6%
2015 GE 58.1% with 21.5% to UKIP (2nd biggest party)
2010 GE 56.4%
2005 GE 54.7%
2001 GE 55.1%
1996 GE 46.4% with 42.5% Lib Dems (2nd biggest party)

He is going nowhere.

Speaks volume about the constituency and electorate in Dorset.

WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

It was recognised that there was a gap in the law which made it almost impossible to successfully prosecute offenders. There was widespread support across the house to use this bill to fill that gap, with even the Government supporting it.

Then misogynistic dinosaurs like Chope get involved and block it for no reason, presumably because he thinks it’s acceptable to photograph a woman’s genitals without her consent.

Take 2 mins to email the bastard and make him understand he is wrong on this issue.

He has a daughter in her twenties.

How must she feel now?

The whole thing was started by Gina Martin, the younger sister of a friend of mine. It started from a Facebook story of what happened to her at a concert, and she would not let it go, to the extent that she has recently been attending regular meetings at Parliament with politicians of all parties, and eventually gained government support for a bill.

I'd like to know exactly what Sir Christopher Chope has done which outweighs that and somehow justifies a knighthood for public service. His voting record just makes him sound like a bitter old cunt.

There have been 67 edits and re-edits of Chope's Wikipedia page in the last 3 hours. Editing of that page has now been restricted and several users have had their editing rights blocked, including one called Christopher_Chope . I think that may have been a fake account, looking at the detail in this re-edit note.

as if this government can't get any worse: Long story short, this young boy has incredibly bad epilepsy and dozens of seizures every day. Cannabis oil completely stops them.

His cannabis oil got confiscated at the UK border. The Northern Irish GP that used to prescribe it got told by the HO office to stop doing so. The same HO does not want to make an exception for this one family who have been campaigning in the public eye for years (instead of just getting this under the table which is what most people do) but they want to ensure other families can get access to cannabis oil for medical reasons.

Then the government minister that deals with drug policy does not want to meet the family and her husband grows cannabis legally...this is being used for medication made by a drug firm.

All because one oil he needs has a little bit of THC in it. [some people need the THC...]
