Rhyno   10 #14 Posted June 15, 2018 Sir Christopher Chope, you should be ashamed of yourself.  He should have been ashamed of himself years ago. He has a history of bizarre and damaging actions in the Commons.  This is just his latest act of stupidity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Halibut   12 #15 Posted June 15, 2018 You can still look you just can't take pictures - and rightly so i have to agree.  No, you can't - unless you're a total scumbag.  ---------- Post added 15-06-2018 at 15:39 ----------  its just childish behavior and if you are that desperate there are many better images of lady bits on the internet........allegedly i wonder how much its cost to bring this new law in??? public money could be better spent:roll:  It's grossly intrusive, demeaning and upsetting for the victims. Why do you feel the need to minimise sexual assaults on women?  I think I can probably guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

cgksheff   44 #18 Posted June 15, 2018 The proposed amendment to the Sexual Offences Act does not make the taking of such pictures an offence. It will only be an offence when .....  (3) The purposes referred to in subsections (1) and (2) are— (a) obtaining sexual gratification (whether for A or C), or (b) humiliating, distressing or alarming B.  https://services.parliament.uk/bills/2017-19/voyeurismoffences.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I would like to hear the views of some of the forum’s female posters, although none appear to be that interested in this thread.

Sidonica   10 #21 Posted June 15, 2018 Yes, my late grandfather used to say that ‘a kick in the goolies often offends’, he didn’t actually say ‘goolies’, but I’m sure that you have an idea of the actual word used. I would like to hear the views of some of the forum’s female posters, although none appear to be that interested in this thread.  One female has already commented (me) but you only have to look at comments such as these 1) This up-skirting is nothing new to those who remember where the ladies toilet was at the albert pub, top of Cambridge street, in the mini skirt days of the seventies, Half the lads in Sheffield would have been arrested.  2) Yep, and standing at the bottom of the spiral staircase in castle house.  3)public money could be better spent  Comments like these show that a lot of men cannot empathise with women. My first reaction would not be 'I must kick this imbecile in the goolies' I can't speak for all women but my first reaction would be to get as far away as possible. It would appear that some men think we should react the same way as they would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
El Cid   212 #22 Posted June 15, 2018 Of the 78 incidents reported, only 11 resulted in suspects being charged with any crime.  A new law for 78 incidents, that would have been a result. If a law is OTT, the police and courts just tend to do the right thing. 11 crimes out of 78, surely similar to other crimes?

Waldo   96 #23 Posted June 15, 2018 Do we know how prevelant this kind of thing is? I've never experienced anything like this, or know anyone who has. Are there any statistics on reported cases of intrusive photography? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
