But it tells you a lot about the sort of Tories who are running this council.<br /><br />Coleman describes himself as an 'active' Methodist. I am not sure that his definition of being an active Christian would entirely agree with mine, or St Peter, who will, I imagine will be directing our Brian to the other place, where the temperature will be unpleasantly warm for the time of year, and indeed for all time.

Westminster Council flogged off its cemeteries for 5 pence each and ended up paying £4 million to buy some of the land back.<br /><br />There is no economic or moral justification for cemeteries to be run on a for-profit basis, but Brian Coleman has year-on-year insisted that burial costs increase far above the cost of inflation - especially the charges for infant burials where parents are in not fit emotional state to argue. No doubt this was all part of his long term ploy to fatten the service up for privatisation. <br /><br />Mr Coleman professes to be a religious man. Good luck explaining this to St Peter!Don't Call Me Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602899129846028170noreply@blogger.com
