No, he hasn't! It's two different issues. And on the second issue I've said, I would probably agree.

I just think we cannot go back in history and look how we British behaved then .. 'tis what it is in the present, and the law is the law in my opinion ... nowt to do with souls ascending to heaven. Would open the floodgates to all types of ceremonies.

I believe in re-cycling, so in my religion of green, I would like my body to be hung on the trees of Northumberland, so that our bird population can pick my juicy bits to keep the food chain going and my contribution to Mother Earth, so that I can be reborn in the Cycle of Life! ... I know, daft, but that is the way it could go.

I'm not saying you should have to do those things just because you were in Spain, btw. What I'm saying is that everyone is capable of holding on to their own identity and their own culture wherever they live in the world. Just because one person wishes to uphold his culture doesn't dilute anybody elses culture or beliefs.

unusual fer you to talk crap but ya have managed it this time.

Like you Katex I also believe in recycling and have always thought it would be better to let nature takes its course. Many many years ago I looked into this possibilty and was told in no uncertain terms that I could not have the type of funeral I would like. As I'm not religous, all I can have is the most environmentally friendly available funeral. Not a happy bunny.

Come here live your lives follow your religion, but within the laws of the land and without predigest to the indigenous population is not much to ask really

some of your post is total rubbish...tell me what law or regulation says we can't mention Christmas and have to call it "winter festival" ?...since when was Easter banned?... like Shakermaker I'm wondering what sort of fantasy land you live in!
As for people being allowed to have funeral pyres it is against the law of this land and unless the law is changed then courts have no other option but to enforce the law.... I would not have any problem with pyres if a siutable location could be found and designated for such funerals so long as that the maintainace and costs for the place was met by those who wish to use them.

Just musing here .. would the Fire Brigade have to attend for Health and Safety like ?

LYNX1 · 09-05-2009, 07:07

That would never happen Mancie, a way would be found for the council tax payers to pay

Your only problem is you look at everything though either an alcoholic haze or a pair of red tinted glasses Mancie, whichever is your mood at the time. How many left wing council celibate very religious festival going except Christian, think you'll find a hell of a lot, which is quite often highlighted on the left wing BBC not The Daily Mail

ah yes your usual retort..is it me or is the last bit of that in latin?..can't understand a word of it!
as for alcohol, at least I can use that as a somewhat feeble excuse for the times I post rubbish...but what's your excuse?
