Do you think people should be arrested for being smelly ?

[quote]People should not be arrested for being smelly.
Government-backed proposals in the Criminal and Justice Bill could see someone face prison for causing damage by creating "excessive smells" and not moving on when told by the authorities.

Under the bill, it is proposed police or local authorities will be able to issue "nuisance begging directions" to move people on, and if they do not comply they face a month in prison.[/quote]

Lol! I can almost see their point. I've encountered some people in public who smelled so abominable that I'd be gagging. 🤢

@AbbeyRhode Oh my, who were they?
Usual suspects? ;)

@Nimbus No one I know. Strangers I pass in the grocery or bank, etc.

@AbbeyRhode I’ve worked with people like that. They should have been fired for not complying to the hygiene rules that they were told of when they were hired. One woman threatened to sue for “discrimination”.
