Yeah, and?

Daisy Buchanan in The Guardian: Good on the Naked Rambler – more public nudity would be a good thing:

Stephen Gough. 'Why is it OK to hint at highly sexualised nudity all day long and then persecute a normal man for getting naked.'

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
