If you really believe it's ok to walk around topless, then I invite you to take some topless photos of yourself and post them on the forum. I'm guessing you won't !
Go and be miserable somewhere else, while we have some fun....

This was nothing to do with me personally, it was just a random question.
If we don’t joke and laugh in life, then what’s the point of it all?
You should try it and whilst you’re at it, please feel free to ask admin to remove this thread. I would hate to offend.

Well yes and no.
Technically, there is no law against being nude in public in the United Kingdom. Simple nudity is not illegal. Even performing what someone might consider to be an obscene act in a public place may not be against the law.
It all depends on the circumstances.
There are three laws that apply and all of them are open to interpretation depending on why the nudity is happening and where.
1.The Public Order Act of 1986 prohibits behavior that is "threatening, abusive or insulting within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress".
2. The Sex Offences Act of 2003: Indecent Exposure relates to sexually motivated exposure of one's genitals, with the specific intention that someone will see them.
3.Outraging Public Decency is a common law offense that makes it a crime to perform actions or displays in public places that "outrage generally accepted standards of decency" and that are witnessed by at least two people.
As of August 2015, when Gough was released from prison after serving half a 30-month sentence (spent in solitary confinement because he insisted on being naked in jail), he had lost count of how many times he had been arrested and had spent about 10 years in jail to prove his point.
Obviously he's an extremist, but upholders of the laws mentioned above felt compelled to arrest and imprison him.
Nude on the beach - you might get away with it or be asked to cover up .....
Nude in the market - you'll probably be arrested .....
However, participants in the World Naked Bike Ride (London and other venues) are not usually arrested, so if anyone feels the need .....

Re: Should Women Be Allowed To Walk Around In Public, Topless?
I've often wondered why it is that it's only women's breasts that should be covered up? I mean our breasts are functional we feed babies and stuff.....men's breasts are well......what are they used for?Bare your breasts girls....you first Arty

So l ask, why can’t women?

Re: Should Women Be Allowed To Walk Around In Public, Topless?
Surely the question that should be asked is why women should not have the option to schlep around bare breasted --- if she wants to?Obviously there are times and circumstances when going around letting it (them) all hang out would be a thing that a person would not want to do.
In harsh sunlight for example unless a sun protection cream with an SPF about the same as Portland cement for one, in the cold of winter when the only blue tits should be searching for food.
So other than for personal comfort why should a woman not have the choice?
