And how else would you criticise things in an attempt to change them, such as access legislation, than initially "bleating" about them?

Arrested again three days after release "following complaints from the public". Strange as if the good people of Dunfermline could tolerate a poet reading at them on a bus they could surely tolerate a bit of nudity.

Why ?
Seriously, why should they thole this iijits ill mannered behaviour ? and that's me being polite.
He's a liar, an exhibitionist, and a right royal irritation.
He said he would head home if he were released. .....he doesn't live in Dunfermline, neither does his family so why hang about there ?
Tell you what, since you feel so strongly about it, invite him to your town, and then (if, and it's a huge if) when your neighbours 'don't' complain about his behaviour, can you carp agin us for charging him with breach of the peace, again
He got less than 30 miles and had folks concerned enough to make complaints about him; he's an iijit.
cheers,
Toddy

I haven't noticed any political activism, just bleating about how terrible the "system" is................
Him and every other crackpot out there. He knows the law, he knows the consequences. He either wants to go to jail or he's an idiot. Or an idiot with a cause.
Absolutely fantastic, perhaps now they'll carry out a proper psychiatric evaluation and get the guy the help he needs for his mental health problems.
Just glad he's off the streets and footpaths
Looks as though he was heading south, any evidence he was "hanging about" in Dunfermline? According to the RAC route planner he had covered about 27ish miles. Not fast but maybe all you can do if you have been locked up for so long. The weird thing is that people have posted that he should just be ignored and he would go away which is exactly what he wants. Incidentally what has he lied about?
Stupid remark, how would you notice political activism on a forum that prohibits political comment?
This hits the nail on the head. A visa and air ticket to a country where he can be free. Point me in that direction too please. This country is supposed to be free as long as your idea of freedom exactly conforms, if not we WILL find jail space for you regardless of the perverts and maniacs our ilustrious judicial service seem to be at pains to be trying their best to keep out of jail.

And presumably you have met him in person to be slandering him thus on the forum eh?
Please take a moment to look at post 247. I agree with BR's sentiments but having just spotted the signature I think that sentiment sums up this thread nicely.

Cornwall population = 535,300, and has an area of 3563 km2
Central Scotland = 70% of the 5.2 million population, about 3,655,400 in an area of 9872 km2
Tell me again that there's no reason he shouldn't wander naked here ? Seven times the population in less than three times the area..........and it's urbanised.
Civilisation has it's roots in the behaviour acceptable of full citizens living in the urbs.
Basically enough of the population don't consider his behaviour acceptable where they live.

Simple question then. Should women with bare arms wandering through an area lived in by many Muslims be arrested for a breach of the peace as bare female arms are taken by some to be more provocative than a man being naked? Instance of hostility towards some women doing this so we have here apparent cases of conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace. Or to put it on its head, veiled women offend some, should they be arrested? Or should those offended (found any in the case of the NR?) be told to take it on the chin, grow up and worry about the polar bears?
"Tell me again that there's no reason he shouldn't wander naked here ? " OK, there is no reason he should not wander naked there, incidentally he walked up the rest of England with variable population densities some of which will have more than matched the density of that part of Scotland.

I'm sure the mods won't mind you posting the political party you've set up as long as you don't prosetylise, or the local council you've stood for or got yourself elected to in order to infiltrate the system.
