Nekkid rambler Steven Gough
And before you ask, no I'm not about to try it in light of my recent airborne biker thread ;)
Did we all hear about this fella? I couldn't find any threads on him in the search function. I cannot help but admire him for his persistence and focus, how he has ended up sacrificing everything for what is so important to him. I know it's an article from the guardian, sorry. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandsty...rambler-prison Feel free to discuss, but if you're going to poke fun then think long and hard about how to back up your opinions ;) |

And it was the story about Prince Harry's recent nekkid antics that reminded me of this bloke.

Re: Nekkid rambler Steven Gough
interesting article. I dont necessarily admire him for what he is doing. He is obviously persistent in getting his point across but it does appear somewhat futile. I think the reaction to his actions is down to what might be considered publicly acceptable.
Many people would feel uncomfortable about a person walking naked in public, in particular when its a man. The article makes it sound trivial and daft that a person is being imprisoned for 'not getting dressed', I think its more than that. He is being imprisoned for repeatedly ignoring the previous judgements, his punishments seem to be more about ignoring authority now than nakedness. But, if its acceptable for a grown man to be naked rambling in public in the UK today, is it ok for person to go naked in a bar, or a school, or the workplace? His actions might be perfectly acceptable in his mind, but the general public acceptance doesn't match up with that in today's culture. |

I did find the quote "On his second he was arrested in St Ives, held briefly, then released." quite amusing though. ;-)

Sad that we cant deal with people who are very different but who do no harm to anyone.

Ironic that he repeatedly has the issues in Scotland where the men can freely wander about in kilts with nothing on underneath :smile: |

On a serious note, it's always bothered me about people being topless in public, perfectly acceptable for a man, but not a woman, why? That's sex discrimination IMO. |
