‘Politcally correct lunacy’? So would you be happy if instead of being allowed to rest in peace, your mortal remains were disinterred by archeologists and shoved in a museum for crowds of slack-jawed tourists to gawp at?

Not that I have any respect for the “druids” in question. The mysteries of the ancient British religion are lost in the mists of time, because it was a closely-guarded secret passed down from druid to druid by word of mouth. What these people are practising is at best, some half-arsed bull that they have gleaned from fragments of information passed down from observations by outsiders (i.e. the Romans) who would not have understood the full reason and context of the ceremonies, and certainly wouldn’t have been privy to the full details that only the druid priests themselves were permitted to know....

I couldn’t care less what happens to my mortal shell after I’m dead - I won’t be around to notice.

As for the “gawking slack-jawed tourists” the people like these wack job “Druids”, oppose even the very private study of these remains to obtain important, significant, or just enlightening information about these people and their times.

They are intellectual luddites.
