New upskirting law blocked by Tory MP

"An attempt to make upskirting a specific criminal offence in England and Wales has been blocked by one Conservative MP. 

The government gave its Support to a change in the law before it was brought to the Commons. 

But Sir Christopher Chope shouted "object" to the private member's bill. 

The campaign for the bill against upskirting - when photos are secretly taken under a skirt - was started by victim Gina Martin.

In the Commons, MPs shouted "shame" after the intervention, stopping the bill getting a second reading"

How disgusting, and how fitting that he is shamed for his actions. hopefully it will go through soon, in a similar vein to Japan's laws, which extend to prison sentences for such offences.
