Speaking of modesty and the lack of it...

The Naked Rambler has been jailed again after breaching an antisocial behavior order. What do you think? Should they leave him alone? Is he crazy? Right? Wrong?

I notice he can wear a hat, neck scarf, socks, and shoes. He's not against clothes entirely....

 

I'm guessing he finds those items useful beyond simply covering-up.

 

I think the legal ball is rolling too fast for them to just leave him alone. Yet it's pretty clear that simply jailing him repeatedly isn't working. I would prefer not to have naked people walking around yet it seems silly, to me, to go to such extremes (IMO). Is there any indication that he is a danger to anyone?

I think the way he's hung up on it suggests something wrong with him. Head trauma? Mental illness?

I also think he has a point about the arbitrary nature of nudity laws and cultural expectations in that department.
