Trav Le Bleu Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 If it gets decided by number of people who vote - well, Yorkshire's a big county.
berniethebolt Posted 5 February 2013 Author Posted 5 February 2013 If it gets decided by number of people who vote - well, Yorkshire's a big county. true, but its York not Yorkshire. Its about showing and objection, not first past the post. I just think its a bit bl''dy cheeky that they want the bones.
acooling08 Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 York didn't give a fvck when Richard was killed. If they were happy to have his corpse thrown in a hole 500 years ago, they can bollocks now. Besides, it is archaeological practice to bury the remains at the nearest possible location.
Spudulike Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 It will take a legal challenge to overturn this. Will the York council tax payers be happy to fund that ?? I've signed the petition anyway.

Corky Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 True. Leicester Cathedral is spitting distance from the original site, it's the only sensible choice. Is that Goran Popov's spitting distance range?
Guest Bilo Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 Is that Goran Popov's spitting distance range? We are talking a matter of yards to be fair!
foxesfan1989 Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 No need to sign it, they legally can't take the bones!
kingfox Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 Give them some Maryland Chicken bones, they will never know
Parafox Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 York can do one. The excavation and investigation was only agreed by the Gov't and the university on the agreement that he would be buried in Leicester. So F*kc off York and take your Terry's chocolate orange with you.
stevelcfc Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 It was debated in the commons earlier, the result basically told York to do one, they said the decision was up to Leicester uni and the Richard III society, and just for good measure they also said they see no reason why he should not be kept in Leicester. Also due to the law of archiology and internment, it basically said he remains in Leicester. EDIT found this: The choice of burial site has been somewhat controversial, as there have been proposals for Richard to be buried at Westminster Abbey alongside 17 other English and British kings, or in York Minster, which some claim was Richard's preferred burial site. The Conservative MP and historian Chris Skidmore proposed that a state funeral should be held for the deceased king, while John Mann, the Labour MP for Bassetlaw, suggested that the body should be buried in Worksop in his constituency - half-way between York and Leicester. However, Sir Peter Soulsby has said: "Those bones leave Leicester over my dead body." No will or other documentation of Richard's wishes survives, so the Ministry of Justice licence leaves the decision to Leicester City Council and Leicester University. The Richard III Society has previously suggested burying the body in York but its secretary, Sandra Wadley, says: "We thought it was worth putting a try in for York, but it was always an optimistic shout. As long as he receives a proper interment, Leicester is fine by us.
Finnaldo Posted 5 February 2013 Posted 5 February 2013 King Richard is a blue, Is a blue, Is a blue King Richard is a blue, He hates Yorkshire.
Vlad the Fox Posted 6 February 2013 Posted 6 February 2013 They don't give a shit for five hundred years while he's buried in our city, our university does all the work and they think they can just waltz in and take him. Wankers writing to the queen, all they're interested in is the generated income from tourism.
The Doctor Posted 6 February 2013 Posted 6 February 2013 Richard of York - the clue is in the name, bury him in York. The issue also arises in burying a catholic in what has only ever been Anglican
Vlad the Fox Posted 6 February 2013 Posted 6 February 2013 I don't think he'll be too fussed seeing as he's been bound and buried in a crumpled heap all this time.
flowwolf Posted 6 February 2013 Posted 6 February 2013 Give them some Maryland Chicken bones, they will never know Yes just find a chicken with Scoliosis and bob's your uncle a very cunning plan indeed.
Spudulike Posted 6 February 2013 Posted 6 February 2013 Richard of York - the clue is in the name, bury him in York. The issue also arises in burying a catholic in what has only ever been Anglican Richard of York ?? That would be Richard Plantagenet who was the father of Richard III. He is buried at Fotheringhay, Northamptonshire (not York). Just for info: Richard III was Duke of Gloucester (not York). Hope that helps.
Guest MattP Posted 6 February 2013 Posted 6 February 2013 **** off Yorkshire, King Richards all ours.
