A man who has spent 10 years in prison because he goes naked in public has told the BBC he will continue his protest even if it means he has to spend the rest of his life in custody.

The cost to the taxpayer of his prosecution, imprisonment and legal appeals is estimated to be close to £1m. Full story...
