Isn't public nudity legal in all UK? Policing aid:

Behaviour described by caller

Passive behaviours in public

Sunbathing, walking, cycling, swimming, gardening, home maintenance, etc.

Provide advice
If they are just being naked in public, it will be lawful activity
Explain to caller that no offences are being committed
No police action necessary

I cannot imagine being a cop in this country the laws are just totally arbitrary and you'd have to enforce them even though they make zero sense.

It gets even mader. If you take one step over the border into England, being topless suddenly becomes legal regardless of gender or birth sex.

however it is not an offence for a man or a woman to be topless in England and Wales, so long as the person has not taken off their clothes with the intention of shocking or upsetting others.

Is it illegal for women to be topless?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago (54 children)

Yeah. That seems sexist.

Free the nipple.

Not to get sidetracked but what is the significance of the red right arms? Scots burn quickly in sunlight but not usually in such an isolated way.

On Saturday (17 May) the women stood outside the Scottish parliament building with their shirts off and their arms painted red, which they said was a mark of solidarity with anti-fascist feminists across Europe.

Combattre les totons par les totons!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I assume totons is boobies.

I'd bet it's also a double entendre for something that roughly means "bad guys". Assuming combattre probably has the same root as combat, the post has a cadence like "fight the transphobes with the tits!"

I also don't know French but guessing at it seemed fun

Pretty good yes. ToTon is the Québec version of têton (tits) And and calling someone ToTon is about equivalent to dumbass. It's a play on fighting fire with fire. Maybe you could changeto Guess-tephan
