Crazy Story

about the "naked rambler" Stephen Gough.
I never heard of this guy till now.
he walked the length of Great Britain naked. But when he tried to walk it again he was arrested. Already having a string of charges for breach of the peace and offences related to public nudity.He served 10 years mostly in segregation for refusing to wear clothes. All at great to the tax payer I'm sure. He does all this as he believes it is an act of liberation and freedom.

If you agree or disagree with him. Stephen Gough's name will go down in history. He seems to me deserving of respect for simply standing by his integrity.

He has my respect and admiration. Simply for being himselfand doing all he has done to this day.


cheers Here's to you Stephen Gough. cheers

I concur Molly !

I wonder if the argument was used in his trial,
"What sort of a world would it be if everybody did it ?" laugh
wow!!sleep mumbling
kandacyhope,
I don't know if its my writing style or the fact that the photo is not full frontal, That has you falling asleep. But either way thanks for dropping by wave laugh
LonelyfromAfrica,
I take your point.
But I'm afraid I see nothing wrong at all with nudity. dunno

My blog is however open to all comments bouquet
LonelyfromAfrica ,

To me your question is like asking ;
"What if half the kids went in jeans and the others wore slacks."
I watched a documentary about him couple of years back, most of his arrests were because he insisted on walking past schools, understandably the parents didn't think much of that & complained to the police, this left them little choice but to arrest him, frankly after an hour of watching him I got pretty fed up of his attitude to anyone but himself sigh
Funny you say that Zman,
I would love to know and have just started researching The effects of nudity on child development. be it positive or negative. would love to here from an expert on the issue.

Are we as a society being to over reactive or no dunno
kandacyhope,

dont worry I'll keep it clean wink
If you walk down the street intending to cross a country, rest assured there will be schools along the way. If the police really cared they would move the school or hide the children. But it is an easy arrest and good for some overtime money when they go to court. :)
