Your insinuation that anyone on this thread other than yourself is gibbering comes out quite laughable.
A man without money took care of his late mother himself (who had already been embalmed - so much ffor your Cholera red herring). The state intends to try to extract money from him he did not have - because they are the state.
You personally have attempet to add motive and intentions without evidence to gin up the idea that the man had bad motives and behavior not intrinsic to the known facts, as did the UK authorities.
I am for limited Government, that is why I am on this site. Big government "Conservatives" like Arlen Spector, Carl Rove, And YOU as well annoy me.
Prove the man did not bury his mother, or slink off, you big government that owns you even when you are dead socialist.
“The state intends to try to extract money from him he did not have - because they are the state.”
That’s what they do. They extract it peaceably or with a gun.
