Now bodies of the dead are not being buried as effects of credit crunch spread across Britain | Mail Online

I hate sound insensitive, but I think this news makes the credit crisis sound more grim than it is. “The spectre of the Winter of Discontent threatened to return to haunt Labour last night after funeral directors revealed that the burial of ‘hundreds’ of bodies is being delayed for financial reasons. In a bleak new sign of the growing economic crisis, hard-up families are having to wait more than two months before receiving Government money for funerals.” Via: Krugman
