DiaDiGiovanni It should never have been blocked by Tory MP Christopher Chope. Shameful posturing and mysogyny

HackneyAbbott you don't need to worry about this issue diane nobody would upskirt you, the thought of it makes want to puke

Good

The lords took their time on that one didn't they

The drive to make upskirting legal, by the BBC and other conservatives; pretending that a women's 'expectation of privacy' is not protected, that a woman's freedom from harassment not assumed, that each assault must be defined to its tiniest detail or its legal, is itself assault

The fact that many people in the west always cirticizeing countries like SaudiArabia about treatment of women, whilst up-skirting was perfectly legal, tells you everything you need to know about the role of the media and the hypocrisy of the west.

Why isn't it a crime already

_MarlonLoria What is upskirting I don’t get it

HackneyAbbott This law should be turned upside down to include down blouseing.

Rightly so but it's a bit late now as you'll only see a man wearing a skirt in 2019

Their taking all the fun away! 😏

I thought it was a crime anyway

HackneyAbbott Is not a crime already if the person behavior causes alarm or distress to another FreePaulSolar

Can anyone explain why voyeurism only applies to actions taking place in private? I'm shocked that we have such a glaring gap in our laws.

Yes finally! So if I see a Fem on a street with her skirt too short I can report her to Police?

HackneyAbbott Can’t believe the bill was blocked the first time, really

FS best send them shoes back

Kinda pointless when most women don’t even wear skirts.

What about cleavage. Dont put it on display then complain bithes

😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴

Damn I better pack it in then

Is it wrong that my first thought was the Daily Mail are about to lose half their content? The worry is what they will use for clickbait instead.

CrimeLineLaw Will they make sexual harassment by peers a crime next? Hope so!

You guys just now made this a crime?

Also for men wearing kilts?

Pity that the ignorant pillock Christopher Chope decided to shout Object when he did. It's other,people who share his surname,who deserve some small sympathy as its now known as Chopeing.

No thanks to Christopher Chope.

CrimeLineLaw It already is

Would have been on the statute books much sooner if Tory MP Christopher Chope hadn't been such an arse.

About time

S c o t s m e n i n KILTS

And up kilts to I hope!.

CrimeLineLaw Better include kilts too

Need to make groin gawking a crime in that case. Equality

what took so long?

And what has it got to do with the ECB? 😁

What happened to the guy that blocked it in the commons? Is he still knockin about doing fuck all good and gettin’ paid for it?

So it's legal to do it at the moment is it or are MP's once again reinventing the wheel to make themselves look good ?

Unless that sick pervert Sir Christopher Choke blocks it again. Arrange the vote for when he is out on the escalators at Waterloo with his camera.

Sooo... That's just taking pictures? Looking up them isn't a crime? I mean, they wear skirts. They're asking for it.

Not to minimise the case at all, we can't sort Brexit but we can sort upskirting.

IT SHOULD BE AN OFFENCE AS IT IS DISGUSTING AND VIOLATION OF PRIVACY

ha ha where did that come from in the middle of the brexit war? I can wear my kilt in peace now.

Disgraceful! So basically this was legal until now?😑

It already is. this is just of bullshit

What took so long

Should have already been a crime

about time....

Henceforth to be known as Choping, of course

2019.
