    Yup, that naked rambler...

    He's currently in prison for 'disturbing the peace' after walking naked though a town in Perth and Kinross and walking naked out of prison when he was released.

    His goal is not to disturb people, but rather walk from John O' Groats to Lands End. Now usually this country would support nutty eccentrics like him, and personally, I think he should be released in the fashion of his own choosing (IE: Nekkid) and not be dragged back into prison. He really should be able to continue his journey. He's not doing it to offend or for sexual reasons, so why not?

    I think its terribly sad a person cant walk around outside their little building without their clothes on:( Really sad...Were supposed to be free. Why should i cover up my body, ive got nothing to be ashamed of and im not dirty. Sadly there are so many sexual perverts around if people were allowed itd probably get nasty, but what a shame. To me, my body or anyone elses isnt sexual unless theyre blatantly very randy or doing something sexual!:confused: Just a naked man or lady standing there or walking through some bushes isnt about sex, and its proof how warped our vision has become that the majority of people think it is

    He's currently in the prison down the road from me, Sadly, he can't get visitors because he refuses to wear clothes.

    From what I've read in the past, he's only ever had serious trouble in Scotland.

    AFAIK it's not actually illegal to go naked in public in England, as long as there's no intent to cause alarm and distress by displaying your bits. Though Plod often seems unaware of this, as the organisers of Brighton's Naked Bike Ride have found in prevous years.

    You need a plunger when you are a suicide bomber?

    I saw some link to this story in all his glory. It was an unbelievable view. It reminded me of that film, Attack of the killer gooseberry's. I bet he was quickly rearrested and forced to wear prison clothing. Currently, red cotton tracksuit. To those who thought otherwise, sorry, no black and white stripes with arrows, or a ball and chain to their ankles.

    Under a new government we may see the return of the Ballscrew. Like the thumbscrew, but much much worse.

    If it wasn't for Eve tricking her mate Adam into eating that bloody apple. We would have been able to walk naked down the street today. Gap would not even exist and neither would Calvin Kline. We would all be naked and there would be no shame. Of course, modern times, there are nude beachs in France.
