Naked in Thanet

As you can see from the picture of Ramsgate in the 1700s Ramsgate has a long history of naturism that dates back to when the human species discovered the beach.

It has come to my attention that Thanet District Council are discriminating against Thanet’s naturists. If like me, you are older or fatter than you would like to be, then like me your first reaction may be to laugh, or is that snigger.

But there is a very serious point here, our naturists Thanetoneons who pay their taxes like you and me, need a beach where they can pursue naturism legitimately, and most importantly where they are protected by the law of the land so that should anyone go there and engage in an indecent or obscene act they can call the police and be protected like anyone else.

  1. Couldn't agree more Michael. We need more of this sort of thing around here. We've got plenty of beaches to accommodate it, and it's yet another thing we could do to boost tourism and the local economy. However I doubt whether the old duffers who run our council would be of the same opinion.

    Anyone for Bayford Watch?!?!

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
