Fgm

Hi

The Tory MP who tried to block Upskirting Laws has just done it again, this time with protecting girls from FGM.

It is time we dumped dinosaurs like him.

Re: Fgm

Proof if proof was ever needed as to why this country on certain matters ( above and beyond the day to day running of the country such as brexit, capitol punishment child protection etc ) should NEVER be left to the half wits we house in Westminster as time and time again be it war or peace they make the wrong call and without any consequence upon them whatsoever yet their actions bring misery to millions day in day out

MP Christopher Chope under fire for blocking anti-FGM bill http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47173445

The MP who infuriated campaigners by objecting to a ban on upskirting has been heavily criticised after blocking another private members' bill.
Sir Christopher Chope shouted "object" in a debate on laws protecting children from female genital mutilation.
His Conservative colleague, Zac Goldsmith, said his actions were "appalling" - Lib Dem Tom Brake said the MP had "reached a new low".
Sir Christopher has argued his aim is to stop badly thought-out legislation.
He said he had not been objecting to the substance of the issue, but wanted to see all legislation properly debated.
■ Christopher Chope defends blocking upskirting bill
■ FGM: What is it?
■ FGM 'increasingly performed on UK babies'
Friday's Commons debate, brought by crossbench peer Lord Berkley of Knighton, would have allowed the courts to make interim care orders under the Children Act, in cases where children are believed to be at risk of FGM. The bill had already cleared the House of Lords.
But Parliamentary rules mean it only requires one MP to shout "object" to a private member's bill which is listed for a second reading but not debated to block its progress.
Mr Chope has a track record of objecting to them, arguing that he does it on a point of principle, because he does not agree with legislation being brought before Parliament on a Friday without enough time for a full debate.
Last year he sparked fury when he objected to another bill to make "upskirting" a criminal offence in England and Wales - that became law last month, after the bill got government backing.
But his fellow Conservative Mr Goldsmith, who co-sponsored the bill, tweeted "please note that once again he did not object to those put forward by his friends".
Among others criticising his actions on Twitter, were the Labour MP David Lammy, who suggested Mr Chope "embodies a brand of thoughtless, regressive conservatism which can ruin lives" while anti-FGM campaigner Nimco Ali said she had "nothing but disgust" for Mr Chope.
Home Secretary Sajid Javid said on Twitter he was "very disappointed" that the bill had been blocked adding: "FGM is child abuse. I am determined to stamp out this despicable and medieval practice. We will do all we can to protect girls at risk."
The BBC's Parliamentary correspondent Mark D'Arcy said, with a lot of private members' bills in the queue for consideration in Parliament, this one was unlikely to become law unless the government got behind it or decided to attach it to another piece of legislation.

Re: Fgm

What a total turd. He could have had the decency to agree to this one instead of his usual lame excuse that it needs to have the careful consideration of parliament. How did this tosser get anywhere near a position of power in the first place? Whose arse did he have to kiss to get the job? With any luck, he'll be voted out of his seat in the next election.

ETA. Have just looked him up on Wikipedia - my epithet of Tosser has been confirmed. As well as being instrumental in creating the `poll tax`, he had a massive expenses claim in the 2009 expenses scandal part of which include £800+ for the repair of a sofa. He tried to delay the debate for the Hillsborough enquiry so he could discuss MPs pensions.

Reading through the Wikipedia page there's nothing to commend him at all so the sooner they get rid of him the better.

Re: Fgm

He's more concerned with due procedure than protecting girls from mutilation.

Silly old f***er.
I'd like to rearrange his genitalia with a blunt rusty old knife...

Ha ha ! Likewise. Sir Chope is a real problem. He seems to oppose anything and everything that is abhorrent to human kind. The list is as long as ones arm and gone on for years . He's constantly opposed the banning of wild animals in circuses. Why ? Along with all he opposes and the fact that he'd like to reintroduce the death penalty probably tells us that he's some sort of sadistic, f..ing nutcase, if you ask me, .....(but nobody did).

Re: Fgm

O Come on

FGM was made illegal in 1985 and up dated in 2003.

Up till now a month ago there has only been (At Last) one conviction.

Point is would this private members bill have made it easer to convict these people...or was it just jumping on the band wagon with the latest conviction.

Re: Fgm

Each and everyone of the parents of girls who have been mutilated should be without exception prosecuted .
But there you are if you want cultural diversity you have it .
Not ALL cultural diversity and customs are good .
