British Council Wants 350,000 Old Gravesites To Be Dug Up For New Muslim Graveyard In London

The site is a historic old graveyard with certain parts turned into a nature preserve, but now, they wish to dig up the graves and relocate them so that they can be used by Muslims.  People are unsurprisingly angered, stating they won't let their deceased loved ones be moved, but it seems the local government can do it, and given how powerful the government is over there, I have no doubt it'll happen if the government wants it.  The paid caretaker of the grounds says he is absolutely opposed to it.

This pissed me off,

But the Labour-controlled council's environment spokesman Abdal Ullah appeared to be in no doubt about the feasibility of the plan when he said: "To preserve the respect and dignity for everyone, I think most of the graves would have to be cleared out and we'd start afresh."


Unbelievable, you aren't preserving respect and dignity for the people buried there first, you disgusting bastard.  "Oh, I say, we'll just have to dig the ol' bones up, and start afresh, ol' bean."  I have a better idea, why don't you tell the muslims to build their own damn cemetary, and leave everyone else's the hell alone?

Here's what they'll use to move the gravesites,

By law, any graves more than 75 years old can be removed.


Where the problem comes in was the site was deconsecrated a while back, which means the Church of England can't cover it either.  The council that is considering the plan claims its looking into other options, but I get the feeling its all BS to try and calm people down so they can move ahead with their plan.
