Naked Rambler gaoled again

Being a middle aged hairy prude I’m no nudist but nudism fascinates me. It’s spoken of, and written about, in such spiritual terms. I think it’s even got a rich tradition in terms of heretical Christianity, various Hindi practices, and the modern ‘new age’.

I think this gives it a very valid place in the current debates about the place of religion in society. If muslims want sharia courts and prayer time and Sikhs want to carry a kirpan and Christians want to be able to teach intolerance of gays to schoolchildren, surely nudists should be allowed to walk around naked? Just because it’s not a formal religious doctrine hardly seems a reason to not regard it as a legitimate spiritual practice that doesn’t hurt anyone.

The part I've highlighted above is the really important thing -naturalism/nudism doesn't harm anyone. Even the hygiene arguments just don't stack up, clothes are probably worse when it comes to general hygiene.

Yeah, I can't see what damage is done simply by seeing a nude body.
 
I do wonder, if he was female, pretty and twenty one, whether the police response would be quite the same.

Okay, you're not opposed to bikers (possibly associated with dangerous gangs) running their horribly loud motorcycles a decibel under the limit and disturbing the peace for everyone in a quarter-mile radius because it falls within the law.

Hhhmmmm any evidence that they are associated with 'dangerous gangs' other than the fact that they are bikers? If so then perhaps you should complain about that and take the evidence to the police rather than moaning about their exhausts if they are legal.

Me, I wasn't happy about being woken up by my neigbour leaving for work at 5am this morning in his van, but them's the breaks and he wasn't breaking any laws (although it would have been nice if he hadn't slammed the doors so hard).

The neighbours on the other side have a dog that will sometimes bark early in the morning or late at night. The next house has a baby, sometimes she cries and their is nothing wrong with her lungs, that's for sure. Me? I have a bike, I make an effort, unless I'm working on it I don't leave it running on the driveway and as it happens I don't usually leave particually early or get back late. But I've probably annoyed or woken someone at at least some point.

I'm sure you do someting to p-off some of your neighbours too. That's life and social living.
 
I don't think he's getting the point that the criminal justice system is unimpressed with his protests. Maybe he should focus on something attainable like clothing optional parks and beaches like we have here in Germany. The martyr thing is clearly not working for him.
