So says the Sunday Times (you will only be able to read a small part of the article) in one of its editorial articles.
I'm not sure how it made the editor's column which usually considers
more weighty matters. The lead actor in Sunday night's John Le Carre TV
adaption of 'The Little Drummer Girl', Florence Pugh, said that the
nude scenes in the drama had to be toned down for US audiences, saying:-
“America is quite scared of bums and nipples,” she said. “I don’t know why. Such strange people.”
Oh dear Florence, that won't endear you to some of the Americans I know.
The Brits however, the article points out, do love a bit of cheek and
it reminds us of Tom Hiddleston's bum in The Night Manager (well who
could have objected to that). Then the article goes downhill and asks
where the line should be drawn and tells us that Member of Parliament
Michael Fabricant has announced that he will be partaking in a naked
bike ride in aid of charity.
Now that scared me. Michael Fabricant is our local MP! He's visited our offices a few times, I've passed the time of day with him and P has
chatted briefly with him a couple of times and to be honest he seems
like a really nice guy compared with most politicians. He can often be
seen around town outside a cafe sipping coffee or in one of the bars
having a beer. But please, Michael, let us not see you riding through
the town naked. I'll give money to the charity just to not have you do
it:)
Have a good week,
Ronnie

LoL Ronnie, I wonder what our American friends will say?

I haven’t found our American friends to be prudish, quite the reverse! This programme was made for TV, so perhaps it had to be toned down.
I hope your MP doesn’t set a trend, I’d hate to see ours riding naked. Bad timing too, now that the weather’s turned!

I suppose in theory (and when it's far removed from me) I could get behind a naked bike ride. But if it's one's very own MP then um, perhaps like you, I wouldn't want it to happen either. :)
One for every minute still left on the clock. He’ll be encouraged to hold out. Unfortunately for him, with my hand on his cock, I don’t think he’ll last that long. I know he’s a premature ejaculator. Alexandra Snow C4S
Hi Ronnie,
I enjoyed The Night Manager and remember that bum very well! There are quite a few bums and nipples on some cable channels that we get in Canada so I guess we are made of sterner stuff.
Would I want to see our Premier, Doug Ford, naked on a bicycle? Not in a million years! Our MP? Hmmm...maybe!
Hugs,

LOL! Reminds me of when my partner and I wanted our principal to do something he wasn't inclined to do. We entertained the idea of storming his office removing all our clothes and refusing to put them back on until he agreed to our demands!
I think it is just that we are more relaxed here in the the Great White North, although, I really dont need to think about Doug Ford that way!

Well, the Americans you know are not prudish, but I will agree with Florence What's Her Name. American censorship is still in the dark ages! Besides bums and nipples being taboo, swear words are a big no-no.
Luckily the biggest cable networks bring us shows and series with a little more realism. And, yes, Ella just checked out Tom Hiddleston's bum. No objections here.
Hugs Across the Pond,
Ella
I agree we seem to be a nation of puritans -
I also agree with you that I would pay money to have some or most of our politicians not ride naked.
Thanks for the heads-up. I downloaded it this morning, not for bums and nips, but because I am a John Le Carre fan.
I am fine with pols naked, but my preference would be to lock them up.
I imagine it depends whether it is on the major channels(NBC,ABC,CBS) but Netflix, HBO, and other specialty channels show a lot of skin.
I am happy your MP would ride naked, and wish more people would be willing to do so. Nudity is healthy, and gets rid of pretentious bullsh*t.

Roz - We know now:) Thanks.
Rosie - Nor have I. I'll report back if he does. Thanks.
Fondles - Yeah I could do a naked bike ride, but out MP riding through the town naked, god forbid. Thanks.
Loura - Don't think you are reading what the others are:) Thanks.
Hermione - Your MP must be quite a dish then:) Thanks.
PK - That would have got his attention Thanks.
Boo - It doesn't bear thinking about:) Thanks.
Ella - LOL. It doesn't surprise me that you checked out Tom's bum:) Didn't realise that American censorship is a bit behind the times. Thanks.
SG - Except all our friends here. Maybe I should start a petition, pay to the charity to stop him riding naked. Thanks.
OBB - That's what you tell us:) Thanks.
Red - Yes, we have Nextflix. I can assure you, you wouldn't want to see our MP riding naked through the little town. Thanks.
Love,
Ronnie

So, it seems from the article and comments that "nipples and bums" scare Brits & Canadians too............IF they are on a politician. It seems an odd point of contention. ;-)
