Akirauni88 yeah. Just like Charlton Heston in that 'Green Soilent' film picture several years ago!

Xristos10818751 The best practice is to incinerate, there is no logic on storage of corpses on burial grounds, reduce to ashes is the cleanest when it comes to reduce any type of contamination and dont consume too much land to such end.

next step will be: eat dead people. good for the environment.

If we don't cook ourselves first.

Otherwise known as cremation except the ashes are used as fertilizer.

Soylent Green anyone?

He didn't want anything elaborate.

Good

What makes someone think I want to eat something grown on my mother in law?

Terrific idea.

BNN2020 oh blimey... no comment i think...

The compost bin is collected every other week

Has Johnson found a way to sell souls to now he has such a total electoral majority?

Or Chop up bodies and sell the bits abroad like Johnson is planning with the UK's NHS. Now he legally owns all UK born cadavers to play with and exploit

'Dad always did raise some fine tomatoes.'

But are we any good for the environment?

Yuck

That’s me sorted!

Deathcare?

'Don't eat it...Soylent Green. Its made from people!'

I love this idea for efficient decomposition 👍👍

Liberals are sick people

Hey, we could do it in the cities ...and grow mushrooms too.

Soylent Green is people!!!!

I smell like the process has started

Sorry, how is burying or burning and scattering the dead not already human composting? There is a flower bed in Lords cricket ground which is a designated spot for ashes (although my grandfather's ashes are feeding the wicket due to a naughty aunt...)

Can't wait.

Human rights groups call on Scott Morrison to confront Trump over landminesConcerns Australian troops could be involved in ally’s use of mines after White House reversed Obama ban Americans should pay attention - if Trump doesn't get his wall this maybe is a backup plan.

Wow you really are good at flogging a dead horse.Does anyone actually believe this drivel? The Euro will go first and then the EU will follow shortly after, but not before all of the unelected have filled their pockets and illegal bank accounts, it's totally corrupt. Why is it that leaving the EU isn’t enough . The EU won’t fold . It is important that Britain gets its act together and performs to its full strength. The government need to start grafting !
