Strip Sir Christopher Chope of his Knighthood

Petition Details

Sir Christopher Chope MP has brought the British honours system and the institution of knighthood into disrepute and should be stripped of his knighthood.

Additional Information

On 15 June 2018, Sir Christopher Chope blocked the passage of a private member's bill that would have made the practice of "upskirting" (taking a photo up a woman's skirt without her permission) a specific criminal offence, thus bringing the British honours system into disrepute.
