THEY SAID IT...

‘I’d have to question the lack of parental responsibi­lity of any parents who take their kids into such an event, just because they think it’s normal’

Tuesday columnist Clive Smith airs his views on a Stoke swimming pool holding a nude swim

Aswimming pool in Stoke is holding a nude swim next month, inviting guests of all ages to enjoy a dip in the buff. And by all ages, they also mean children. Adults, I’ve not got a problem with. If you like to be wander about with it all hanging out, crack on.

As long as you’re with like-minded people and not bothering anyone, who cares? But around children? Absolutely not! I’d have to question the lack of parental responsibi­lity of any parents who take their kids into such an event, just because they think it’s normal. It’s not. It’s weird. Social services should be on the door taking names of anyone bringing minors.

I just can’t see why anyone would want naked adults around their children.

I’m sure these people wouldn’t let some strangers in off the street, allow them to strip off in the back garden and jump in the hot tub with their children.

There’s not a great deal of difference for me.

The whole thing completely contradict­s what children are taught by the NSPCC in primary schools about staying safe from harm – your ‘private parts’ belong only to you and don’t show them to others.

If you like a beer and you’re going out for a drink and one bar had free drinks and the other was normal prices – you’d head to where the drinks were free.

If you’re a ‘sex-beast’ who fancied a swim and one pool had naked children and in the other they were wearing swimming costumes, where would you go?

They may as well put a sign outside saying: ‘Paedophile­s this way.’

And how could they encourage them? Well, children under-five go free and adults are allowed to attend without children!

I’m convinced there is some degenerate liberal agenda afoot to legalise paedophili­a in the future.

The parents taking their children to these events are probably the same oddballs who let their children sleep in the same bed as adults and then years later find themselves appearing on Netflix documentar­ies as their now adult son or daughter relives a childhood of abuse.

I’d have to question the lack of parental responsibi­lity of anyone who takes their kids into this
