Christopher Chope is at it again

The MP who blocked the Private Member's Bill trying to outlaw upskirting has now blocked the progress of a Bill adding protection to young girls at risk from FGM. Although Chope claims it is a point of principle, relating to the level of debate such bills receive in the HOC, as Zac Goldsmith points out, Chope doesn't use this tactic for bills that he, or other fellow members of the Tory backbench 'awkward squad', present.

Not surprised - wasn’t he Southampton Itchen MP in the 1980s? No wonder Dunham and Whitehead lasted so long.

When you look at his longer-term record, no wonder most of his party pm to quote one of my contacts, believe him to be ‘odious’. Steered the poll tax legislation through, the worst piece ever to go through the HoC, tried to create an opt out on the minimum wage, climate change sceptic, voted down anything to do with gender equality and same sex marriage, filibustered on both the Hillsborough enquiries and upskirting bills. That is the tiny tip of a huge iceberg.

No surprises that he’s a member of Conservative Way Forward and Leave Means Leave.

Why hasn’t May sacked him? Tory party needs to grow a pair and get rid this of this total c unt

Anyone remember the "Don't Vote Chope" graffiti on Bitterne Road in the 80s?

I do now you mention it. I grew up near there, but I had no idea who Chope was when I was at school. Was it on the train bridge near the Station?

Because you can lump everybody together that voted to leave the sclerotic, failing EU and naturally assume that they all believe in all the same things eh?

But to be fair you seem to call anybody who doesn't agree with you a leftie. You called me a leftie (never voted for a left wing party in my life) and presumably life long Tories like Kenneth Clarke are Socialists in your eyes because they want to Remain.

He didn't say that.

He said that someone who believes those things can be expected to have voted leave. That's an entirely different proposition than saying that everyone who voted leave believes in those things.

Simple logic, Les.

Chope by name, chope by nature.

Simply rubbish. The EU referendum has produced some very strange bedfellows on both sides, who would have hardly any other policies in common, as they are diametrically opposed politically.

Quite. As Zac Goldsmith said (probably just to the left of Corbyn in Wes’s eyes) Chope doesn’t seem to have these procedural issues when one of his friends - from CWF or Leave Means Leave - proposes a motion.

Chope’s record is abysmal - it’s worth looking up - and doesn’t belong in a civilised society in any party. Not only has Jarvis now stuck the boot in - don’t blame him as Chope is clearly very bigoted - but also his own old fogies in Dorset have started to realise he is too extreme for even them and are looking to deselect.
