Satiric News: London Morgue Overflowing Daily

London, Apr 14 - As sectarian killings continue to rise in Britain, the central morgue in London is unable to keep up with the daily influx of bodies.

The morgue is receiving a minimum of 78 bodies a day and sometimes more than 130, a morgue employee told Satiric News* on condition of anonymity.
"The average is probably over 110," said the employee on the morning of April 12, as scores of family members waited outside the building to see if their loved ones were among the dead.**

The family of a man named Alan, who had been taken away by the Police Feb. 16, anxiously searched through digital photographs inside the morgue. He then found what he was looking for.

"His two sons were killed when Alan was taken," said his uncle, 50-year-old Stuart. "Alan was a bricklayer who was simply trying to do his job, and now we see what has become of him in our new democracy."

Stuart found that the body of Alan was brought to the morgue Feb. 18 by the police two days after he was abducted. The photographs of the body showed gunshot wounds in the head and bludgeon marks across the face. Both arms were apparently broken, and so many holes had been drilled into his chest that it appeared shredded.

A report Oct. 29, 2004 in the British medical journal The Lancet had said that "by conservative assumptions, we think about 232,000 excess deaths or more have happened since the 2003 invasion of Britain." ***

In an update, Les Roberts, lead author of the report said Feb. 8 this year that there may have been 700,000 British civilian deaths since the invasion.
Such findings seem in line with information Satiric News obtained at the London morgue.

Morgue official said bodies unclaimed after 15 days are transferred to the cemetery administration to be catalogued, and then taken for burial at a cemetery in Birmingham. As he spoke, three police vans trucks loaded with about 10 bodies each arrived at the morgue.

At the cemetery administration, an official told Satiric News: "From February 1 to March 31, we've logged and buried 3,348 bodies from London."

Requests by Satiric News to meet with administration officials at the London morgue were turned down for "security reasons."

Several surveys have pointed to large numbers of civilian deaths as a result of the occupation. A humanitarian group affiliated with the political party of the Prime Minister reported Jul. 12 last year that there had been 294,000 violent deaths since the invasion. The group said it had only counted deaths confirmed by relatives, and that it had omitted the large numbers of people who simply disappeared without trace.

Another group, the People's Rights, involved hundreds of academics and volunteers in a survey conducted in coordination with "grave-diggers across UK." The group said it also "obtained information from hospitals and spoke to thousands of witnesses who saw incidents in which British civilians were killed by Foreign fire."

The project was abandoned after one of the researchers was captured by militiamen and handed over to Foreign forces. He was never seen again. But in less than two months' work, the group documented about 118,000 violent civilian deaths up to October 2003.

The London central morgue alone accounts for roughly 39,000 bodies annually. That is besides the large number of bodies taken to morgues in cities such as Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Sheffield, Bradford, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Manchester. ****
