Rejected petition Ban nude bathing on beaches that is clothing optional.

More details

Nude bathing should be banned on all public beaches, where it is 'legal'.
A few reasons for this include:
1. acts of indecency can be committed by 'naturists'
2. protection of children
3.disgruntled members of the public against this pastime.

Naturists should NOT be protected under section 66 of the sexual offences act 2003.
Naturists are exposing parts of the body that no-one wants to see. They should be treated the same as indecent exposure.
