Well, if he ever wears a skirt in public, we are now well within our rights to gather photographic evidence to prove it.

Maybe we should get 4 masked men to pin him down and put that skirt on him...

Then they can break his neck

I don't think we should necessarily take the **** too much on this 'no' MP. There may have been some element of the legislation that he thought would make it an onerous law. Like the possibility that accidentally taking a pic with someone's undercrackers in could potentially be criminal. Or whatever (I've not seen it, of course)

If only someone had stood up to that ridiculous law that banned British made 'extreme' porn (as 'extreme' as spanking, period sex, and female ejaculation ffs!). But no-one was brave enough to risk looking like a perv, so that law got rolled out.

That said, maybe he is just a perv. i dunno.

Taking a picture undersomoens clothes without consent.

It's currently illegal as outtanging public decency but that requires 2 people to witness it.

So take a pic up a girls skirt with 2 people present its illegal, take it woth just 1 person present and its legal.

I dont see how this law could be abused really.

I mean have you ever "accidently" taken q picture under somones clothes?

People who support this party are disgusting, you clearly support the destruction of decent government.

a more pertinent question is 'have you ever been caught accidentally taking pictures under someones clothes'

Getting into silly examples probably isn't helpful (especially as we don't know if he was actually concerned by the law's overreach), but I could imagine a red-carpet situation where you accidentally get an upskirt of someone exiting a limo when taking a pic of someone else (as opposed to the daily mail deliberate upskirts). Would that become illegal? Hopefully, there would be provision that such shouldn't be illegal.

VincentHanna · 15 Jun 2018 at 15:28

That wouldn't be considered an upskirt photo.

That should also be illegal, if you can't take a moment to look over your own photos, then you deserve a slap.

Thst would be illegal currently as there's more than 2 people present but that does raise the issue of why the daily mail types aren't charged?
Maybe it's because it s a public event without the expectation of privacy?

this guy seems like the ultimate troll

also, i thought you couldn't take photos of people if they told you not to?

You can in public

FortuitousFluke · 15 Jun 2018 at 15:34

Having looked at the list earlier on in the thread who the hell has been voting for this moron?

FTM · 15 Jun 2018 at 15:37

he will have a safe tory seat...

his previous voting history

he voted against equal pay transparency
he voted against same sex marriage
his was the only vote against the pardon for Alan Turing

he would appear to be the house of parliament equivalent to a WUM

he also has a knighthood.....

"I wasn't taking a pervy upskirt, I merely fell forward whilst taking a selfie and put my hand out to stop myself falling over and accidentally took a photo of her crotch, honest guv'ner. It's SJW nonsense gone mad. MAD I TELLS YA"

What's an up skirt picture exactly? What about bikini's? What's a skirt, women wear lots of different bottoms? What if it was accidental? What if the girl deliberately exposes herself and then complains later? I understand that sticking your camera up a skirt should very obviously be illegal, but the law needs to be implemented correctly, it's not just black and white.

Marky · 15 Jun 2018 at 15:42

Wow that is a sure fire way to make yourself look like the biggest pervert in Politics

And that's a tall order!

And he's a Sir... Sounds about right.

UK Government is a joke

And yet only one MP felt the need to raise the ojection. Either he's the only sane person in the house or he's a bit of a knob.. Since a number of his previous interactions seem aimed at implementing a dickensian dystopia and sticking it to them there gays I'm going with option number 2.

It is taking a picture under somones clothes. there is no mention of a skirt at all in the bill or gender etc simply deliberately taking a picture under somones clothes of something they are obviously concealing.

So no a bikini would not be an upskirt unless they where wearing a dres/skirt over the top and you stuck your phone up under heath.

Deliberate exposure again not covered as its no longer under her clothes.

It's exactly what you are saying should be illegal that's they want to make illegal.

Remember this isn't a he said she said there's usualy photo evidence

Typical posters posting typical responses about the finer legal points as if they give a single ****.
