Don't make the mistake of thinking that, just because London has so many historical sites, we can simply destroy some of them here and there and no-one will notice. It is precisely that sort of thinking that leads to the long-term destruction of our heritage and the eventual decay of cultural norms and values.

Frankly how such a thing can even be proposed and seemingly taken seriously is beyond me. If this is the case perhaps we should stop burying people altogether.
