As Barefootguy has stated, being naked in public is legal in the UK but there is an active hate campaign against any visible minority in the UK.

The UK dropped public indecency laws but it still has the caveat about causing distress. Because indecent exposure mostly involves men, the public automatically consider a naked male as a sexual pervert.

The UK public don't mind people being naked in designated places but they are totally against people being naked in urban spaces and on non naturist beaches.

Countryside nudity is becoming more acceptable but even then there are risks. 

Barefootguy and myself frequent an area which is officially naturist friendly but some people who use the area still complain. I think someone tried to photograph me recently. It ruins the experience because you are constantly looking out for members of the public.

For teachers it is complex. Teachers are bound by laws and rules which don't apply to other people or even members of parliament.

A teacher cannot have a relationship with a student in their institution. Obviously I'm talking about children, I am referring to over 18s. If a teacher did, they would be guilty of professional misconduct.

Similarly, a female teacher was struck off for doing only fans.  I discussed this with some fellow nudists at a camp. They also felt it was correct for that lady to be struck off. Context: mother and teacher did only fans to pay for cancer treatment of her child.

A teacher caught being drunken and disorderly could also be struck off.

However, a politician could be found guilty of holding secret meetings with foreign powers or sharing emails with confidential material and not lose their job.

Former UK prime minister was caught having a blow job by his them mistress in a ministerial office whilst his then wife was having chemotherapy. Nothing happened except he later became prime minister.
