Tory MP objected to female genital mutilation being stopped and everybody chose an appropriate word to describe him
Christopher Chope: His obsession with female genitalia has earned him a nickname which, like his real names, also begins with a ‘C’.
It begins with ‘C’ but it isn’t ‘Christopher’ and it isn’t ‘Chope’ either.
Yes indeed – Christopher Chope has struck again. The man who killed a proposed law to ban “upskirting” has now blocked a Bill that would have made it easier to stop female genital mutilation (FGM) being inflicted on children.
This man has no business dictating what happens to the private parts of females members of the human race – for at least two obvious reasons.
Ironically, he opened his mouth to shout “Object” on the day his fellow Tory, Penny Mordaunt, pledged £50 million to end FGM globally by 2030:
To end FGM in the U.K. we need to end it globally. Today I met specialist FGM midwives and activists in London clinic @imperialnhs to hear how women are affected by this harmful practice and announce that @DFID_UK is pledging £50m to help #endfgm by 2030. pic.twitter.com/DtiHmDc9hi

Who could have predicted someone who did their best to ruin outlawing #FGM & #upskirting would have this kind of voting record? #Christchurch please do not return Christopher Chope MP next election. https://t.co/Mvb1KtXP6q

You are a disgrace to mankind to object to this inhuman act.
Christopher Chope objects again: this time he scuttles female genital mutilation bill
He is the MP who also objected to a bill that would have made upskirting an offence #ChristopherChope— Toni Luialei (@ToniLuialei) November 24, 2018

The embarrassment of the people of Christchurch at having elected Mr ‘C’ could not be clearer, as constituents lined up to condemn him and others begged for him to be ousted at the next election:
Yes, there is something seriously wrong with #ChristopherChope. Unfortunately he’s my mp. I think there should be a maximum term you should serve as an mp so we can lose these dinosaurs.

His record looks appalling
Ultimately, Christopher Chope's opinions are supposed to
reflect those of his constituency.Christchurch …….
Is this the best of you?— Dora 💙 (@Dora_Haf) November 24, 2018
With Theresa May – and her entire government – on the brink of collapse due to her pathetic bid to negotiate a withdrawal from the EU that will benefit elite Tories and nobody else, it seems the people of Christchurch may have an opportunity to rectify the problem of their errant MP, sooner rather than later.
Let us hope they take it.

He needs to team up with the bigmouth from Shipley that thinks whip’s don’t hurt horses and we could have them doing a charity whip, then instead of being totally useless, they could put something back into society, these are meant to be educated people, university must have accepted anything in those days
They do team up, regularly.
Oh come on! Chope objected to 48 Private Member’s Bills yesterday, ranging from modern slavery to pet theft. The most that can be said is that he has a bee in his bonnet about Private Member’s Bills, rather than a hatred of women.

Why not both?
And yet he’s tabled quite a number of Private Members’ Bills himself.
Same old Chope. He’s utterly predictable. Isn’t it time his local party chopped Chope?
To say that Chope is a nasty piece of work is a gross understatement. He is nasty and seriously weird.
Bet he would object to male castration !!! Hes an old fart who should resign ,no place in the modern world for People like him !!
He sounds as horrible as it’s possible to get. However, I’m afraid I have to say, that the ‘C’ word is the very LEAST appropriate name to call him.
Regards Chope the subject is irrelevant. He objects to private members’ bills full stop. He is a a pig ignorant old git who should be sacked as he is a disgrace to Westminster and democracy
The ‘problem’? Is it Chope or is it Christchurch? Looks like Christchurch from here!
he needs to be chemically castrated and I am being nice
