Tory Dinosaur blocks Upskirting Bill

Tory MP who blocked upskirting bill says he was scapegoated

What a starnge and complex world we live in.

This is a thing apparently. Dirty old men trying to get pix of womens undercarriage.The bill to make it an offence was blocked by an old perv.

The Conservative MP Christopher Chope has said he was scapegoated for blocking a bill to make upskirting a specific criminal offence, saying he supports the bill and only objected to it for procedural reasons.

Chope, who has regularly obstructed private members’ bills in the past, has faced vehement criticism, including from other Tory MPs, for delaying the voyeurism (offences) bill on upskirting – the surreptitious taking of sexually intrusive images.

In an interview with his local newspaper, the MP for Christchurch said he was “a bit sore about being scapegoated over this”.

He told the Bournemouth Echo: “The suggestion that I am some kind of pervert is a complete travesty of the truth. It’s defamatory of my character, and it’s very depressing some of my colleagues have been perpetuating that in the past 48 hours.”

Theresa May promised on Sunday that the government would take on the upskirting bill, which was put forward by the Liberal Democrat MP Wera Hobhouse after a campaign by Gina Martin.

Do you have laws on this in the US ?

If I'm trying to look at your vagina it should be taken as a compliment. Chicks are so uptight nowadays.

If I should kick you in the balls and then have you arrested, you should consider it’s because you’re an asshole who deserves it.

Yeah. We Americans is civilized.

You're assuming he has ballz.

Some Americans are civilised.

 

[EverCurious]

America has something kinda similar. I believe such things fall under peeping tom laws, and possibly even sexual assault.

 

[fncceo]

Problem solved ...

 

[Natural Citizen]

They give out free upskirts on the morning cable news entertainment programming all of the time. Pretty much every day.

It's no wonder the ratings are so high. But whuheva.

Dinosaur DNA clues unpicked by researchers at University of Kent...

Dinosaur DNA clues unpicked by researchers at University of Kent
26 Aug.`18 - British scientists say they have pieced together what dinosaur DNA looks like.

Researchers at the University of Kent say their work uncovers the genetic secret behind why dinosaurs came in such a variety of shapes and sizes. This variation helped the creatures evolve quickly in response to a changing environment - helping them to dominate Earth for 180 million years. But the researchers behind the DNA work say they have no plans to recreate dinosaurs, Jurassic Park style. Of course, there was one final challenge the dinosaurs could not overcome - a massive asteroid impact 66 million years ago that wiped out all dinosaur groups except the flying ones that developed into birds.
Recently, Prof Darren Griffin's team used mathematical techniques to identify the possible genetic characteristics of the very first dinosaurs. They did this by working backwards from their closest modern-day relatives - birds and turtles.

Their results suggest that dinosaur DNA was probably organised into many chunks - called chromosomes. Birds usually have about 80 chromosomes - about three times the number humans possess. It is notable that birds are among the most varied animal groups on Earth. If, as Prof Griffin thinks, dinosaurs also had a large number of chromosomes it might explain why they too came in such a range of shapes and sizes. "We think it generates variation. Having a lot of chromosomes enables dinosaurs to shuffle their genes around much more than other types of animals. This shuffling means that dinosaurs can evolve more quickly and so help them survive so long as the planet changed," Prof Griffin said.

Dr Rebecca O'Connor, from the University of Kent, said: "The fossil evidence and now our evidence reinforces the idea that rather than birds and dinosaurs being distant relatives, they are one in the same. The birds around us today are dinosaurs." As for hopes that we might be able capture ancient dinosaur DNA from fossils, that looks doubtful. Genetic material degrades over time, and the world record for the survival of ancient DNA is one million years. Dinosaurs lived between 66 and 245 million years ago. However, the techniques being used by Prof Griffin and his colleagues may lead to an even more detailed understanding of what dinosaur DNA was like.

But this won't in itself allow us to recreate dinosaurs. "We are not gong to have Jurassic Park anytime soon," according to Prof Griffin. "If you take the DNA of a chicken and put it into an ostrich egg you won't end up with a chicken or an ostrich. You will end up with nothing. The same would be true of a velociraptor or a T. rex. It just wouldn't work".

If you are trying to look at a woman’s vagina without your consent, you’re a pig. That you consider it a compliment shows that you think you’re entitled to do so.

“Chicks” tend to get uptight around assholes who feel entitled to treat them like a piece of meat.
