UK Men may be banned from taking tops off in public

[Appollynon]

I would'nt normally bother bringing an article like this to anyones attention, but it strikes me as aprt of the plan to try and make everyone act as good little robot people.

I say this as I believe it is a persons individual right to dress in whatever manner they see fit, and I see this as just another attempt to strip men of their individual rights, his time being the right to choose to take their shirts off when the weather gets to hot for them.

A law like this this would impact someone such as myself quite a bit, as I suffer from quite intense build up's of heat in hot weather (and sometimes even in moderarately cold weather), and one of my only ways of stopping this heat building to the point where I feel feint, is by removing my top to let the air/breeze cool my skin.

I do understand that the law is aimed at a certain age group of a certain body type that has been deemed by someone in GOv to be an unnaceptable sight (who are they to judge people on their looks or body type anyway). However from what I've read about this law, every male in the UK will be descriminated against because of a few people in Gov being very image/body-centric and who put asthetic qualities before basic human rights of an individual's right to choose. I just think it's really wrong to pass laws that go against an individuals right to choose, simply because someone who wants such laws is offended by the way other people look. What is this country coming to when such things are taken seriously.

If I could support myself enough to be able to pay for lodging and food and water in another country I would like to leave the UK now, as Im totally disgusted with the way this country is going and its ruling Gov and pathocratic political system works.

Men may be barred from baring their chests - and stomachs - in public under new local laws being considered by town halls.

They would stop men stripping off their shirts in crowded town centres and give powers to police to remove any who defy the cover-up laws.

The proposal has been inspired by the least attractive side effect of the heatwave - the tendency of a number of often middle-aged men to go about in nothing more than shorts and trainers.

Last week the Daily Mail highlighted the wave of revulsion among most of the public at the summer's least welcome fashion trend, and pictured a series of the worst examples in the hope of shaming offenders into keeping their T-shirts on.


Now local authorities have been circulated with a scheme for using by-laws to require shirts in town centres and to brand men who won't wear them as anti-social.

The laws would operate in a similar manner to local statutes that ban drinking on the streets or which prevent gangs of youths from congregating.

The politician behind the plan is former local government minister Nicholas Bennett, who has canvassed councils across the country for support.

"There is a problem," Mr Bennett said yesterday. "In my part of the country we are trying to revitalise the main shopping precinct.

"But one of the things that is depressing for anyone going shopping is the numbers of shaven-headed men, mainly in their 30s and 40s, who seem to think people want to see their torsos."

He added: "It is only a small minority, one in a hundred people. But these men do look aggressive and occasionally behave aggressively. You would see a big difference in the shopping centre if they were made to put a shirt on."

"It is nice weather and most of us are wearing fewer clothes. But a town centre is not the beach and taking your top off is going too far, for men as well as women.

"It is an unfortunate thing, but those men who like best to bare their stomachs are the ones who have too much stomach."

Officials in Bromley, in south east London, have responded warily to the proposal, suggesting that implementation might prove 'difficult'.

However by-laws governing local behaviour and giving police powers to act against those who infringe them can be pushed through by town halls if the win approval from the Home Office.

Mr Bennett, now a senior councillor in Bromley's ruling Tory group, said: "We already operate by-laws covering on-street drinking and a 'dispersal zone', where police have the right to break up groups of youths and ban gang members from coming back for 24 hours."

Mr Bennett, who runs a property company, was a minister with local government responsibilities under John Major in the 1990s.

yeah, how far have we come? The pathocracy is so firmly entrenched, reality has been so absolutely twisted, that its oscene to take off your T-shirt in public, but its not obscene to blow childrens' arms and legs off with bombs, and to burn them to death with phosphorous weapons (as long as they are 'foreign' children, of course) in the name of democracy and freedom!? (freedom to wear your T-shirt correctly).

If I could support myself enough to be able to pay for lodging and food and water in another country I would like to leave the UK now, as Im totally disgusted with the way this country is going and its ruling Gov and pathocratic political system works.

you're not the only one feeling uncomfortable about continuing to live in the UK, as the clampdown continues. Thing is, where would you go? This is not a local phenomenon - the slimey fingers of pathocracy are spreading all around the globe.

I know what you mean. I was thinking that maybe somewhere in Spain, around the Mountains or out in the countryside. I also like the idea of Venezuela as I'm a big fan of Chavez's government and the helpful reforms and things they have been doing for their people in the last few years. How long caracas will be able to stop the spread of the pathocrats and psychopaths in their backyard is another matter, but at least I'd be lining in a country which I could be proud of and be govered by a man I have respect for.

Your right though, moving to another country isn't going to neccesarily make a large difference as it is hyperdimensional foes we are ultimately fighting to free ourselves from, and they aren't bound by the borders countries and men.
