    So how is being naked “conduct severe enough to cause alarm to ordinary people and threaten serious disturbance to the community.[9]”?

    What a massive waste of time and money, as well as victimisation of the oddball.

    They should have let him out at the beginning of December last year there was about a foot of snow and -15c I recon he would have lasted about 5 min naked 😀

    It just shows how messed up aspects of our society are – you have pseudo-porn available openly at pretty much every garage/newsagent in the country, yet one naked guy wandering about needs sending to prison repeatedly.

    IMO – it’s a bit like Contempt of Court, for which, one might argue, sentences are unusually severe. Basically, you are refusing to obey the law despite being warned of the consequences.

    It was pointed out previously that he was deliberately choosing to walk in places where confrontation would take place. If all he wanted to do was walk around naked, he could head for somewhere like Torridon or Fisherfield where he would be a lot less likely to come into contact with other folk. Of course, the midges might appreciate that too.

    Don’t get me wrong, the guy is clearly a weirdo, but he probably enjoys all the attention he gets from these court cases. I was always told if you ignore an attention seeker, they will probably go away. I dread to think how many thousands of pounds have been wasted on arresting, trying and incarcerating this guy.

    I can’t get my head around how our natural state can be unlawful, same for urinating in a public place, totally natural bodily function. How can that be illegal, especially now most public toilets have been closed down……We’re not as different from the Victorians as we think.

    how feral do you want to draw the line though stumpy?

    stealing food with violence? rape? alpha male fighting? women without sanitary products?

    I had to urinate into the bushes at the side of the platform at a train station t’other day. The station toilets were closed and I was bursting. What am I sposed to do, hold it in and cause myself damage?

    Urinating in doorsteps and that is out of order, but into a gutter or something should be perfectly legal and I can’t see any reason why it’s not, quite frankly.

    IMO the Naked Rambler is being abused by the legal system. It cannot be right that a human being in their most natural state is committing a criminal act. He is not acting in a sexually inappropriate way and his beliefs are harming no-one. People who get their knickers in a twist are acting on THEIR beliefs. They need to get over it.

    Why is it always the people you’d least like to see naked who want to show off their horrible bodies? Why aren’t there more 21 year old buff Brazilian nudists, that’s what I’d like to know.

    1) it’s about what’s appropriate – our society has mores and customs that say that wearign clothes is what happens. Like all mores and customs (“don’t steal”) we have developed a set of rules that support them and instituted punishements that are intended to deter rule breaking. This man has, in effect, decided that he is outside the law and the law is saying ‘Err, no you’re not’ and applyign punishments to him. The fact he is ignoring this is what led me to believe he has mental health issues – it’s beyond stubborn now.

    2) a lot of people would argue that displaying your parts to the wider public in Sainsburys is, inhernetly, sexually inappropriate – If I walked around with my wanger hanging out of my jeans flies I’d expect to be stopped and admonished.

    The Naked Rambler should slip the Scottish Justice minister a few quid to buy one of those get out of jail cards like that Libyan chap did.

    If the bloke wants to wander around naked, let him. Can’t see how he is hurting or offending anybody.

    Its just genitalia, we have all got them 🙂

    I really feel sorry for him. It is outrageously unjust that a man (or woman) should be imprisoned for being a man (or woman).

    I admire him for sticking to his guns, but If it were me I’d probably just be wearing a very tight fitting, flesh-coloured lycra willy-sock by now. 99% of the freedom, and clothed in the eyes of the law.
