No Nudity in Pool Showers – Paedophile Alert!
Posted: January 22nd, 2010 | Author: admin | Filed under: Politics, civil liberties, surveillance society | Tags: child protection, Hugh Bone, Northam, nudity, paedophiles, Torridge Pool | 4 Comments »The country’s obsession with paedophiles is now extending to public spaces never previously in the political firing line. Following on from the thoroughly unnecessary and unjust foundation of the Independent ‘Safeguarding’ Authority, it is now becoming unacceptable for adults to be naked in showers in public pools:
Gym users at a popular pool have been asked to shower in their trunks and costumes when schoolchildren are around, it was revealed today.
After using the equipment at the Torridge Pool in Northam, Devon, members have been “respectfully” asked to wear swimsuits in the showers, if pupils are present.
The pool said it acted after “concerns were raised” by schools, and made the request to protect both children and adults.
General manager Bob Demott said there had never been any untoward incidents and stressed the measure was a safeguard for both children and adults.
He said today: “The measures we have put in place are pro-active. The schools felt uncomfortable that there were naked people in the showers when children were in the changing rooms.”
‘Concerns were raised’, despite there not having been any inappropriate or alarming incidents whatsoever. Concerns about what exactly? Adult, non-sexual nudity? Just what threat does adult, non-sexual nudity actually pose to anyone? Are children now not supposed to be seeing their parents naked, or be in their presence when they are naked? As with every other recent development connected with the ‘protection’ agenda there is no evidence that such ‘pro-active measures’ are needed. Hugh Bone, a local councillor, said:
“This surely is ridiculous. People should not believe that we are all perverts.
“Boys and men as well as girls and women have always changed in front of each other and this is part of the growing up experience.”
Except we’re now being indoctrinated into believing that everyone might be a threat, might be a paedophile, unless they can prove otherwise.

I love it, im now a paedophile until i prove im innocent.
How does one do this i wonder? Do i get a certificate? Go through psychological testing? I just wonder because clearly what im doing already (being myself) isnt enough.
May be i should put this on my CV. – “I have undertaken the anti-paedohile test and i passed”
I seem to remember a study a few years back that said despite all the new measures brought in (by labour), paedophile acts against children are the same as they were in the 1950s.
Hmm…
Oh this is getting ridiculous. And to be perfectly honest I’m growing tired of debating it and ironically having to defend OUR position. I’m just thinking it might be best if we start whacking some of these idiots.
Sadly, all this man is doing is bolstering government manifested sexual paranoia which is already out of control. I’m going to schedule in writing a letter to this idiot later today.
So now we are expected to trade a mythical risk of harm for the very real risk of infection due to inadequate showering. What is worse this encourages attitudes which are know to result in widespread and often serious harm to young people. Prudery is just child abuse with good intentions. The research evidence is absolutely crystal clear on that but when did facts ever stand in the way a good prejudice?
Completely with you on this James – It seems that very few people are listening to the plight of those who have been needlessly scrutinised as a result of this pointless legislation; and those who have an intelligent opinion and very relevant concerns about this.
The tide will change – but only when someone that the Government wants to listen to becomes personally, and negatively affected by it.
