I'm confused. never believe anything you read in the Mail on Sunday, or just don't believe the articles regarding burials?

But the current credit problems are a world-wide phenomenon, not of Britain's making. World leaders are now following my lead in resolving those problems.

... and I suppose there is no comparison between the debt levels that we had then, Denis Healey's visit to the IMF for a bail-out in 1976 and the current crisis. There is a least ONE thing in common.

Return to 1979

In 1979 we had the winter of discontent with dead bodies not being buried. According to the Mail on Sunday we are now revisiting that era.

The Dept for Work and Pensions is delaying payments for burial aid to poor families. It can now take 5 weeks to bury a dead relative. OOPS !!!
