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.
