Re: Crematorium

Less......I don't think he likes us overmuch and he has been a bit sneery about those who post on here.......accusing us of negativity, when what was really happening was that the members were being...

Re: Crematorium

And here we have another politician who has a problem with numbers.......although the other one was 95% wasn't it?

Re: Crematorium

I don't think anyone is trying to stuff religion down anyone's throat.
When you are at a funeral, even a humanist one......does the religious symbolism of the cross really offend anyone?
And in the...

Re: Crematorium

If you mean that the correct solution was reinstating the cross......well, the problem would not have arisen if it had not been removed in the first place...and I know that it was said to have been...

Re: Crematorium

Would that person have the initials PB by any chance?

And my feelings are not that I support anyone elses views, but that I think it was misguided to remove the cross because it causes very little...

Re: Crematorium

What we do not know, we cannot comment on.
I just think it was distasteful for a deceased member(whom Ken presumed, rightly or wrongly, would have agreed with him) to be brought into the...

Re: Crematorium

Maybe those concerned felt that their requests would have fallen on deaf ears.
After all, politicians even local ones are not noted for listening to those who put them where they are....that is,...

Re: Crematorium

Ken if it is so bad, then you have the option not to come on here.....it is your choice.

It was a cheap shot to use the presumed opinion of a deceased member to make your point.
You cannot...

Re: Crematorium

Yes, and there is no such thing as bad publicity...they have to keep themselves in the public eye so that we think they are doing SOMETHING.

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...

Re: Crematorium

I wonder how Graham Jones categorises non believers.
If you add up all the figures of the other categories it comes to just a little less than 50%.......but four and a half thousand people did not...

Re: Crematorium

It has been pointed out in earlier posts that Muslims do not use cremation...it is forbidden.

Re: Crematorium

Even if non believers were more prevalent, this doesn't mean that they would take offence at a cross being visible in the crematorium.
Aren't we being just too sensitive?
Seeing offence where there...

I take your point and I don't think you are a nutter.

Re: Crematorium

It isn't Muslims that require the cross to be removed, Muslims do not cremate their dead.
So 40 % of the local population do not profess any religion doesn't mean that they would find the cross...

Re: Crematorium

I am not overly religious, but I would say to those who find the cross offensive 'Take yourself off to somewhere that does not offend your very delicate sensibilities'.
I am offended by lots of...
