Re: Crematorium

jehovas dont seem to get offended when they get doors slammed in their faces i highly doubt they complained about a crucifix

could see an issuer if vampires went there but apart from that i think most people aint fussed about the cucifix been there

name splattered all over social media and the press... Mission accomplished id say...

funny thing is though this past week HBC asked people to decide on how the council tax should be raised and the options were the working people covered the raise or the people on benefits got told to pay more

naturally social media blew up with comments such as i work all week why should i cover the scums council tax..Well just remember not everyone in receipt of council tax benefit is a Jeremy Kyle dosser infact your grandma or your elderly mother may be getting a discount or help with council tax

anyway i didnt see a second poll from HBC asking if the crucifix should be taken down or not it was just decided and done

Yet still claims to be smarter than us plebs when it comes to the fiscal issues of leaving Europe whilst claiming to speak on behalf of 95% (75,000 people) in Hyndburn


Back on thread I keep seeing a 40% figure for none believers using the crematorium...

Considering that the Muslim community do not use this crematorium, a simple calculation using the census figures would show that 73% of Hyndburn crematorium users are Christian, leaving a mere 27% of people who may possibly be offended (and thats not accounting for the variation that could be caused by the 4000+ people who thought that their personal belief system had sod all to do with census takers)

And by the way I'm a none believer..and just like I did with mine, I know lots of people who tell their kids that mum/dad/gran is in heaven and happy...a cross is kinda significant to the innocent and undoctrinated kids who go to funerals.

Ken Moss tried to screw with the memorial in Huncoat and got his backside kicked, he's had it kicked on his own now defunct facebook group, he's had it kicked here with the benches and now he's had it kicked in the national media....but according to him it's all Britcliffes fault *sigh*
I am 110% behind you on that one!

Re: Crematorium

"2 Days now, Ken Moss made a statement accusing a person of lying, and has not been back to clarify as asked!! That to me says it all about the guy, disappoints me as i originally thought different.

They've done what they usually do when faced with facts as opposed to innuendo, poor local knowledge and crap research..

Re: Crematorium

Perhaps it was a cunning plan by Mr Moss to generate publicity for the town.
If so he has succeeded, local press, national daily papers and now national Sunday papers. Almost in Baldric's class.

Please will you confirm to the electorate of Hyndburn that what you have said is in fact what you mean.
As Ken seems to be quite shy I'll post the answer for you

When did this business of covering the cross start, & who started it, or is this just another lame excuse for stupidity, or bone idleness on behalf of the cleaning staff.

Re: Crematorium

I wonder just how many times there has been an objection to the cross.
How many times have the staff been asked to cover it up.....my guess would be less than a handful.
I think the article in the Observer is as Retlaw says ' bull shine'.
I consider what our MEP said, to right on the money.
