The 'Naked Rambler' jailed for 22 months, following arrest within 60 seconds of his release!

[elbows]

Kill two birds with one stone by making this guy a member of the royal household.

 

[Onket]

Sounds to me that if we didn't throw him in jail for this he would do something worse and worse until he found the level that we would.

Thats not what I'm saying. I'm just pointing out that it seems to me that this guy loves upsetting people and loves jail and if the country was so liberal that murder was the only way to get banged up then he'd be protesting the right to murder people by being the Rambling axe murderer.

I don'y think its much of a leap from rambler to axe murderer, never mind the nude bit.

Those ramblers are all nuts with their army jack boots and insistence that they have the right to walk wherever they like including through popular celebrities (such as Jeremy Clarkson) gardens.

Yeah, good old Clarkson, eh?

The courts have fucked up royally on this and it's hard to see how they can now get an escape strategy from this madness. This cat and mouse stuff is really twisted and horrible. Same time, as I said earlier in the thread my sympathy with the bloke is more at the level of what has been done to him rather than the choices he's made. Certainly non-sexual nudity shouldn't be illegal, but he keeps doing what he does, knowing what will happen - he's got trapped in his own crusade. It's all truly fucked up - and very sad for his family. Bit of a comparison with Brian Hawe in that sense, though his cause was a lot more significant.

I got some stick earlier for saying that (fair enough!). For me it's that tricky boundary where politics and obsessions blur. Same time, by a country mile, the real problem is what the state is doing to him. He also highlights the contradiction between a highly sexualised media/entertainment industry and state prudishness around personal nakedness.

Likes the sound of this

where is the petition ? I'll sign it

" I hereby sentence you to six months in chokey in case you do anything illegal at some unspecified point in the future"

[weltweit]

I feel sorry for the guy, at this rate he is never going to make it out of Scotland!

 

[Orang Utan]

He is a true rebel. Why should he doe as he is told?

 

[Orang Utan]

Gromit you are full of shit

 

[quimcunx]

If they ignored him he'd probably have given up by now.

What was going to happen to those school children if they saw a naked man walking past nearby? A paralysing fit of the giggles?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

When he gets released someone needs to be waiting in a vehicle to swiftly spirit him over the border.

If I was planning that, my first thought would be to buy in a couple of plastic seat covers.

My thoughts exactly Mrs M. Part of his release conditions should be transport to the least populated area on the border to let him get on with it.

 

[Orang Utan]

He needs the employ a clothed man with a bell to run ahead ringing it, proclaiming 'oyez! oyez! If you are offended by the skyclad, looketh away ye now!'

 

[claphamboy]

If only he got it together to cross the border back into England, then he can walk naked as much as he likes without ending up in prison, if he wants to continue to make a complete tit of himself in Scotland, then that's his choice, but to me he's just making a complete twat of himself.

I guess if Scotland finally decides to go it's own way, they will just deport him to England instead of wasting their time and money on court cases & prison.

 

[Mr Moose]

He gets jail because of our fuckupedness about the body.

Pathetic.

Where is Jeremy C******n's garden I'd travel a long way to fuck up his garden.

In a 4x4?

Just think how much damage you could do to his garden in a Hummer!

ETA: Reminds me of an old mate that I had lost contact with, finally caught up with him in a roundabout way, when flicking the pages of The Sun somewhere, I think it was in the barbers.

Anyway, there he was in areport covering his court case after he had gone batshit over money he alleged he was owed for work at some golf course, so he decided it would be a good idea, no doubt fueled by alcohol & class A's, to do a loads of hand-brake turns on the various greens whilst yelling out the car window something like 'I hate rich fat cunts that play golf', before heading off chased by a number of police cars and their helicopter.

He was always a bit mad, so The Sun report didn't surprise be TBH, but it did make me fucking laugh.

Pathetic.

Male bodies that is.

If it was a female body it would be a cheerful news story and no doubt mention how uplifting and benficial the whole thing was.

See Calendar Girls etc.

 

[Onket]

But you still think he should be banged up?!

 

[weltweit]

But you still think he should be banged up?!

I don't. I think it has become quite ridiculous. Let the guy go walk about .. I doubt any real harm could come of it.

 

[Onket]

Gromit was the one who said he should be locked up for annoying people.

I don't anyone sensible wants it.

 

[Gromit]

He isn't being jailed for being naked.

He is being jailed for wanting to offend people... repeatedly. The continued threat of jail still doesn't deter him. This is obviously someone who needs mental health treatment. I presume he is being ordered to undertake it as well as being jailed.

The naked rambler may seem harmless to us here but to some he appears as a scary pervert who might do something to them rather than some benign Forest Gump character. this will have been explained to him yet still he doesn't care what others think.

His behaviour is antisocial of the highest nature. I don't think anyone particularly wants to jail him but please pray tell Onket what alternatives do they have when someone continues and continues to flout the courts?

 

[kenny g]

Absolutely disgusting and yet another reminder of how nasty Scots can be. Kick them out of the EU.

There is nothing wrong with what he is doing. He shouldn't be in court, shouldn't be going to jail.

Which bit of that can't you understand?!!

FUCK OFF..!!

FUCK OFF..!!

If this had happened anywhere else in Europe, English folks would be working themselves into a lather, quite reasonably, about how it shows the backwards state of human rights in that country. For some bizarre reason the same standards are not applied to a country that is rife with sectarianism, has an arcane and unjust legal system and allows a man to be imprisoned for years and then continues the imprisonment on village tittle tattle. Whilst he was trying to leave country- something which millions of Scots with any sense of ambition have chosen to do already.
