Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

SCOTLAND’s first official nudist camp is going to be held in a Dumfriesshire forest this summer.

The clothes-free gathering is being organised by the Scottish branch of British Naturism.

The organisation hopes the weekend of luxury camping – featuring hot tubs, tipis and a hog roast – will help to transform its image and dispel images of leaky chalets and rain-lashed volleyball courts.





Anyone going nude outdoors in Scotland runs the risk of being arrested, but the private Marthrown of Mabie campsite will be screened off to provide priv­acy and to spare the blushes of ramblers and cyclists.


Ivan Gill, who has organised the event – which will take place between 21 and 23 August – is confident it will attract younger and more aspirational nudists.

He explained: “We are looking to offer something fresh, different and exciting. That’s why we looked for a venue which would appeal to more people – and younger people in particular.

“This will be our first summer camp in Scotland, but we are keen to establish it as an annual event.”

The 66-year-old stressed that newcomers were welcome. “We are throwing it open to every­one and you don’t have to be a member to come along,” he said.



Pam Hazlehurst, owner of the campsite, which is five miles west of Dumfries, said: “Our site is ideal bec­ause we are right in the middle of the forest.

“But, there are some public footpaths which go past us, so we’re going to take steps to make sure people walking past won’t be surprised or offended.”

Forget the papparazi. It will be the paps arazi trying to get to the bottom of things in Dumfriesshire

UK judges told to respect Muslim women with veils

JUDGES must show respect to women who choose to keep their faces covered due to their religious beliefs, the UK’s most senior judge has said.

Lord Neuberger said judges must have “an understanding of different cultural and social habits”, in their bid to show fairness to those involved in trials.

“ People have to represent themselves or not get justice.
Lord Neuberger

Addressing the Criminal Justice Alliance, an umbrella group which campaigns for better justice, the Supreme Court president said: “It is necessary to have some understanding as to how people from different cultural, social, religious or other backgrounds think and behave and how they expect others to behave.





“Well-known examples include how some religions consider it inappropriate to take the oath, how some people consider it rude to look other people in the eye, how some women find it inappropriate to appear in public with their face uncovered, and how some people deem it inappropriate to confront others or to be confronted, for instance with an outright denial.”


Last year, Judge Peter Murphy upheld a ruling allowing Muslim woman Rebekah Dawson to stand trial wearing clothing of her choice, but said she would have to remove her veil, or niqab, if she gave evidence so the jury could see her face.

The 22-year-old waived her right to give evidence in her defence and later admitted witness intimidation, after denying the charge during a seven-day trial.

In a lengthy speech entitled “Fairness in the courts: the best we can do”, Lord Neuberger also said judges and lawyers should always keep in mind how “intimidating” the court process can be for those involved in trials, including “the parties, their families, the victims, the witnesses and the jurors”.

Speaking of Legal Aid cuts, he said the importance of ensuring all parties involved in a case understood the goings-on in a court was now greater because “people are having to choose between representing themselves or not getting justice at all”.




Accepting that judges tended to come from privileged backgrounds, Lord Neuberger also warned of the dangers of allowing oneself to be swayed by one’s subconscious. “A white, male, public-school judge presiding in a trial of an unemployed traveller from Eastern Europe accused of assaulting or robbing a white, female, public-school woman will, I hope, always be unbiased,” he said.

“However, he should always think to himself what his subconscious may be thinking or how it may be causing him to act; and he should always remember how things may look to the defendant, and indeed to the jury and to the public generally.”

It would seem it is not only young people who can be brainwashed by Islam.



Political Correctness gone wrong. The judge should be sacked ans lose his pension. Any person living in the UK must obey our laws. If they (anyone coming to the UK) are not prepared to change to meet Western lifestyles they are in the wrong country. If they are not prepared to think and behave like UK citizens there will never be integration. This has been proved by the failure of multiculturalism.

There is nothing in Islam that forces Muslims to cover their faces. The judge has got it totally wrong and should be ignored.



I don't suppose the Judge will have read he 4 Stages of Islamic Conquest in non-Muslim countries. He needs to. It is the constant chipping away of our legal system in order to impose their own. This is a form of Stealth Jihad.
Body language forms part of deciding if someone is being truthful or not. How can that be gauged if the witness is covered up.
I am fed up with special arrangements being made for those who in a caliphate under sharia law would be considered to only be worth half of the evidence given by a man.

I'm afraid our country is marching with increasing speed towards an Islamic caliphate. It's time to wake up.



I wonder at what stage we will stop pandering to people in particular Muslims. If they want to come and live here then fine (in limited, controlled numbers). But they must live by our rules. Simple as that.



Human communication and understanding, what is being communicated, depends heavily on the face and facial expressions and body language The grasp of a language that is not your own, not just sounds but comprehension, is another. take away the former and rely on the latter, the chances of mutual understanding & clarity will become the exception. The permitting of cultural clothing, that inhibits other people, Judges, Court & Police personnel in it'self skews the notion of justice being served. Full face veil is choice Not religious Dogma

So there's been another Ship sunk in the Med full of Migrants , and the EU is going to have a meeting about it . Well you can guess the out come there then , we'll have to take them in . What about these African Nations do they not try to stop them it seems not . The result will be a conveyor belt of these people officially allowed in I suspect . I'm sure Haystack will tell us of some of some signed treaty somewhere that makes us responsible.

i also thought that it was the country of first landfall that had to accept these migrants

It seems Italy gets them , the Pope called for the EU's help at the weekend . I think the report said there were 170,000 last month .

First safe country , what's the first safe country from Syria ?

England.

I wonder what else Cameron would be prepared to sell off.

He appears to be a old man bribing kids with sweets!

--=-=-===


It is good to see that Cameron's wants to disenfranchise the voters of a large part of the UK.

Old Etonian bully boy techniques!

What a bunch of creeps!

Maybe you'd all rather the Italian navy sent gunboats to blow them out of the water?

Who?

The old etonian bully boys, or the Scots?

Led by Captain TANKER. Firing shots from the safety of his Sovereign Shoprider.

If your talking about that stupid publicity seeking woman , then hopefully she has gone a step too far and that is the last we will hear from her.

It's a straight choice between Cameron or Sturgeon.

Send them to Herault and Gard , that's nice and safe

.

On Squawk Box this morning one of the guest speakers has placed a bet on a Tory/Labour coalition, saying their policies were closer than the alternatives.

Then I suggest "one" is put back on his medication!

-=-=-=-=-=

It would seem to me that Cameron doesn't understand the Democratic process.

Seems to me, the nasty party is prepared to use Fascist techniques of the 30s are becoming more and more out of touch.

That would be an excellent coalition. Firstly, they could get together and decide what to do with the NHS.

eg. Chiefs receive a 6% pay rise, whilst front line staff face a freeze.

What? Pardon me? Under the Tories? WTF?

England frightened by a woman?

What are things coming to?

Cameron will have to cosy up and lick the ... of Nigel and his brown skirts and promise him a cabinet post. (Bar Man.)

-=-=-=-=
It will be a relief to have a government for all once again.

=====

I suppose they could privatise government.

OOPs forgot, they have already considered that!
