You are supposed to fill it out on the 29th, but that is the date of Northern Meet 5 so they can bugger off

With my po face firmly on, this is playing with fire.
This tosh will be OFFICIAL government statistical information for the next set of barmy politicians to use for their evil ends.
You will not be recognised as anything other than *********, but you may give an opportunity from some zealots of a recognised religion to start Talibanising the place or something.
Remeber Militant in Liverpool? They got away with it by claiming to represent the majority OF THOSE WHO BOTHERED TO DECLARE AN INTEREST.

Barry, religion means practically nothing to this government anyhow. It's all a laugh. And anyhow, there's comments from Home Office ministers saying that it takes more than just 10,000 people to make a religion...

Strange you should mention that. When I filled mine in and put me, the wife and both kids down as Jedi Knight, Jedi missus, Jedi toddler and Jeddie baby, she went of to lok for my special coat with extra long sleeves

It the BBC report is to be believed, then the whole reason for a "census" is now meaningless!!!
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:<HR>There is an option for "other", but all those who choose this will be counted as one group and the different 'other' responses will not be counted up individually.
"If 10, 10,000 or 50,000 people put Jedi in the 'other' section of the census, it's not going to be reflected in the output," the spokesman said.
The "other" responses will all be counted up under one code, whereas the other religions have a code each.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
... so why bother meticulously collecting specific information under "other" and then throwing it away?
I am still (indeed even more determined) going to enter "Jedi", so that at least the faceless bean counters can appreciate "real world" behaviour - even if the true facts never get out to the public (who are PAYING for the census in their taxes!!!!!)
Does anyone know whether the census-collected information will be available on the web at some future date. After all, the WWW didn't exist ten years ago (ok, it did, but not quite so prevalent).

I hope that it does work, but if not, at least we can all say that we tried......
Religion is far from a load of Bollox, but not everybody believes in it. There is NO REASON not to have some fun or STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS AS AN INDIVIDUAL, freedom of speetch and all of that tosh!!!!

According to my Concise Oxford Dictionary, "religion" is defined as amongst other things "3. Thing that one is devoted to or is bound to do <I>(make a religion of football, or doing physical exercises).</I>"
Thus, (and see the BBC web-site for a reference) Jedi, Manchester United or even Britney Spears should all be valid.
Pah!
