How much longer will this crap go on for???

Do all immigrants have to go to Uganda? It's just they might get a bit upset over there, that's all.

Well, this one is from Uganda, so I would suggest that would be a suitable place for him to return to.

We seem to be seeing a lot more of the knee jerk anti imigrant crap on here recently...

Because the silent majority of white, Christian/Agnostic/Atheist people have had enough of having this PC human rights st shoved down our throats - our society is being killed by a vocal minority, and to be honest, we have had enough.

'Elf anSafety knuts won't allow that either!

You might have a long wait for vultures too....unless they offer a service at longleat or chester zoo etc.

Ok, I'm very much an atheist. I don't really understand why you have such a problem with this though? Who gives a st if Hindus prefer to burn their dead in the back garden rather than at a crematorium?

How is this 'killing our society'? What exactly is 'our society'?

[Turbo5]

Wouldn't it smell of cooking body parts ? Its bad enough smelling obnoxious odours from takeaways and now they want us to smell their 82 year old granny being char grilled tandoori style.

I know of someone in Cornwall who can rent you a pair of Vultures if that helps!

Our society is one that should be advancing, not one that should go back to ancient funeral rites to satisfy a heebeegeebee man. We are a modern society, not some primitive bunch of people that live in a village.

Yes, but why all the anger? After you're dead it matters very little what's done with the corpse IMO. Why not let them burn it in the garden if they like? It's a fairly efficient way of getting rid of the body.

[davido140]

Cant see why its a problem, so long as its done "out of the way", i.e not your back yard in town or in the local park!

If its gets the go ahead I might have to put an extra bit in my will, Funeral Pyre for me I think, but I have to be dressed as darth vader!

I don't have a problem with it. As long as it's subject to all the usual Health and Safety wotnots - ie not in someone's back yard or next to a playground, I fail to see any issues. After all, smoke from crematoria goes up into the air, how is this different? (Unless crematoria have, I dunno, chimney filters or something...).

Crems are being tasked with "cleaning up their act" and fit filters. They must have a fairly large carbon Footprint.

Yes and sticking someone in a wooden box and then burying them in the ground while we all pretend to talk to our invisible friend in the sky is so modern isn't it

It'd smell like a barbeque, then... with a hint of asian cuisine.

Could they not just save them all up for Nov 5th?

Who is this "silent majority" that you seem to keen to rope in with your arguement? Because the vast majority of White British people that I know seem to be pretty tolerant of other peoples beliefs...

If they want to have funeral pyres then I'm perfectly ok with it (subject to proper control & safety legislation, etc.), so feel free to not speak for all of us when you spew your bile.

One of the things the EU jobsworths were jumping up and down about was the mercury from tooth fillings being vapourised and spread everywhere, so crematoria had to install expensive new equipment to trap it.
Could this only be restricted to Hindus, wouldn't it be discrimination if Christians and others had to go to the local Crem and pay their pretty hefty fees while Hindus could do it in the back garden?

Oh and Funeral Pyres. It's nothing new in this country, it's just something we have not used much ever since Jeebus died after getting cross with a pirate.

[MK4 Slowride]

I await the threads 'someone's burning their gran next door it's ruined my BBQ, help'.

So can we kill people we hate then burn them on a pyre and say it's religious so no checks are done, you know hypothetically.

As a practising heathen, I think that I rather be cremated on an open fire rather than in a cramatorium.

- just not yet though!

Actually, I can't see a problem with it regardless of the religious aspect.... After all, I'd LOVE to have a viking funeral meself.
