Rejected petition Take away Sir Christopher Chope' s knighthood.
Sir Christopher Chope's knighthood brings shame to the honours system, given his history of blocking entirely reasonable legislation, culminating in the "upskirting" bill. He deserves to be forced to forfeit this title as an example to other MPs who seem to enjoy such legislative wrecking.
