This pic of the Tory MP who blocked the upskirting law being knighted is perfect
No shortage of comment today on the Tory MP Sir Christopher Chope who single-handedly blocked a law change that would have made upskirting illegal.
But in the spirit of a picture tells a thousand words, this one of him being knighted by the Queen – by @IamHappyToast – pretty much nails it.

Citizens of Christchurch, does this gentleman represent your views? If not, then the rest of us would be delighted if you booted him out at the next election. https://t.co/AZaAXJJVm9
