Time to Die...

[Hobosapien]

When the foreign built and owned power stations become too expensive to run, and everyone's been taxed out of diesel cars into electric ones, they'll want people to opt for biomass energy production instead of standard cremation. Instead of an urn of ashes they'll give you some leccy credits.

Unfortunately that "natural process" often includes being dug up and torn apart and scattered by foxes!

And the problem with that is?

Oh yes, if the foxes are hunted to near extinction as per the request of all Tory voters, then the remaining ones will dig up, but not eat all the flesh, leaving it to rot. At which point the foxes will be to blame, or possibly the EU.

And the problem with that is? ...

Not a problem in principle, although those attending subsequent funerals in the wood might be somewhat put out if it looked and smelled like a cannibal's lair strewn with rotting maggoty limbs and skulls and clouds of flies.

Better than the remote Himalayan tribe where one feller gets drunk and proceeds to cut the carcass up to feed to the vultures.

Why? at least this is a natural and quick process

Thought this was another Tory manifesto pledge for them up in years thread

Possibly, maybe not for the chap doing it.

Vote Lib Dem, they want to legalise cannibalism. Very efficient disposal of corpses.

PS Hang on, I misread the manifesto. It's cannabis.

Interesting alternative to cremation or burial - using alkaline hydrolysis to basically cleanse the tissue away and then grind down the bones that are left

...then packaging it as Soylent...

Once Brexit takes hold Soylent Green will be the only thing left on the supermarket shelves. It's people! Soylent Green is people!

That's assuming we don't find ourselves in a world where humankind has died out to be replaced by zombies, or one where we're slaves to a race of super intelligent apes. Or any other Charlton Heston sci-fi film I've forgotten.
