Dancing on the graves of the brave

Can this comment on Newmania's blog be true?? Judge for yourself:

Why would bodysnatcher Harman pose as the enemy of money grabbing local authorities? I can't imagine any possible reason which doesn't ultimately have money or power in it for Harman an co.

This is the Minister who pushed through the initiative giving local and church authorities the right (imperative?) to steal graves and to dig other ancestors' mortal remains - even those of our our parents for money. Such remains should be 'compacted' said Harriet and reburied deeper to allow the plot to be resold to the families of the several others who must share plots there.

One short note on what compaction entails. I understand it means chucking what's left of our family members into the large grinders used in Crems, where the remains are ground into pellets the size of cat litter.

Some may argue that this is a perfectly rational way to treat our ancestors and family in these days when construction land comes at a premium and every bit of green space is being grabbed for development.

However, most cemetaries are much needed green spaces and wildlife areas.

More important, In common with our country's rich heritage of old villages, historic towns, old churches and listed buildings, Cemetaries and old graves are one of UK's most vital attractions to overseas visitors who's family and/or ancestors were born - and died - here.

The availability of the UK censuses (1841-1901) and the BMD indexes online and greater accessiblity of 4-500 year old parish registers during the past few years has resulted in a huge boom in family historians and resultant tourism.

How big is the potential tourist market for the UK? Massive. When the British 1901 census was released online it received around 20 million hits an hour, the most from overseas - and crashed under the strain.

Ms Harman's government's short sighted policy of mass migration and concreting over UK will not only destroy the reason for much of that tourism, it will force many of us to leave our country. yet does she give a toss about that? No way - as long as her government's raking it in.
