Rejected petition Remove the Knighthood of Sir Christopher Chope, MP.

On 15 June 2018 Sir Christopher Chope, MP blocked a bill making upskirting a criminal offence. There's no comprehensible reason for this other than misogyny, this gentleman lessens one of the most prestigious roles in our country and is clearly undeserving of the honour of a knighthood.
