|---|---|
| Born | 19 May 1947 |
Christopher Robert Chope is a British barrister and Thatcherite Conservative politician.
On 20 February 2007 Chope attended a celebration of the life and work of Ralph Harris, the self-described ‘radical reactionary’ and critic of democracy who founded the Institute of Economic Affairs. [1] The event was attended by dozens of right-wing activists including Digby Anderson of the Social Affairs Unit, John Blundell of the Institute of Economic Affairs, the Daily Telegraph journalist Simon Heffer, Neil Hamilton, Gerald Howarth, Geoffrey Howe, Michael Howard and Lady Thatcher herself. [2]
Choke introduced a Private Members' Bill proposing the abolition of the BBC licence fee in 2008, the Broadcasting (Television Licence Fee Abolition) Bill. During the second reading of the bill he cited a pamphlet Antony Jay wrote for the Centre for Policy Studies ironically entitled "How to save the BBC". [3] [4]
