Rejected petition Strip MP Christopher Chope of his knighthood

Christopher Chope represents the worst of British politics. In light of his decision to block laws to protect women from upskirting photographs, blocking a ban on live animals in circuses, and blocking a law to protect police dogs and horses, Christopher Chope should be stripped of his knighthood.
