It seems embalming in the EU is at risk as the EU Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas considers withdrawing an embalming chemical, according to The Times today.

It was great reading about this on the EU Referendum blogspot and coming across Slugger O’Toole’s report, excellent comments posted too. Slugger explains how It seems half the bodies in Ireland are embalmed after death. Not sure what the figure is in England.

I spoke to my MEP Robert Sturdy about it and he believes it is another scare story, but will watch it closely at Envi Committee.

I love the way that links can lead you to so much interesting information - and people.

Yesterday I was checking out some Conservative leads and came across Richard Bailey who, like me, cares passionately about environmental issues. He is also a former Conservative Press Officer, who is currently standing in his local elections and lives nearby.

I then came another Richard Bailey who is a PR consultant and somehow, in my excitement, I thought they were the same person. I was interested in his Silicon Valley link from Morgan McLinctic on the ROI issue, which was discussed at length at the blogging conference last week.

Turns out I thought I had met one really interesting Richard Bailey, but have now met two. Has that happened to anyone else?
