Can't bury Dad on Saturday, he's not Muslim!

[Sweetpea]

The family of a 75-year-old man has accused the local council of religious discrimination after being refused permission to bury him on a Saturday because he is not a Muslim.
Harold 'Charlie' Lemaire died last week from pneumonia and his family wanted the burial service to be held on Saturday to make it easier for relatives living across the country to attend.
But plans for a memorial service followed by a burial in the City Road cemetery in Sheffield had to be changed because the local authority has a policy only to allow Muslim and Jewish funerals at weekends and bank holidays.
The 'extended service' is offered to Muslims because their faith requires the dead to be buried as soon as possible and Jewish people usually bury their dead within 24 hours.
Other councils across the country are understood to also only offer weekend burials to these faiths.

Fucking wonderful!! This guy probably fought for this country, worked all his life, but has to step aside for some bloody immigrant at his funeral.

Sorry about the expletive but steam is coming out of my ears!!!!

No it isn't......racial discrimination I mean.


A bloody jobsworth on the council...........nothing else.

Wrong obviously.....

Actually, Bruv is right, technically. You can't racially discriminate against a dead person.

I would have told the council I wasn't sure if he's was Jewish or Muslim, but neither now he's dead in any event.

[Bruv]

Followers of Islam or Judaism are not a racial group.....bugger all to do anyone's demise.....so not racial discrimination.
At the moment of death all are equal.......but obviously not to the jobsworth at this cemetry.

Correct, this is not racial discrimination, it is religious discrimination, which is also illegal, except against christians, of course...

Well, Barclays just sold themselves to Arab SWF, and they're busy buying up chunks of America, so its the 70's all over again. Classic case of he who pays the piper.....
