I put Jedi.

anyone else?

Why?

I put the truth.

Jedi.

No, not really.

Didn’t think kids were supposed to fill them in ? 🙂

You crazy muddafudda OP.

Doesn’t putting Jedi and therefore confirming you are religious when you’re obviously not, just mean that the government will allocate more money to religious loonies in your area?

when does it have to go back?

Fisha earlier Today.

Fisha, seen earlier today;

High Five CFH!

“Pagan Cyclist”

😆

“Pagan Cyclist”

Now that’s more like it.

you and 68 million others

Heh! I was just thinking the same thing, Drac and Flashy! 😆

Great minds….

tazzymtb,

The Yoda picture made me make a strange snorting noise. 😯

With your nose/mouth or with your bottom? 😐

well im putting jedi

and what will uk bikeskills- jedi be putting?

No religion for me.

Putting Jedi is at best pointless, and at worst counter productive.

No offence to any actual Jedis, but those who put it as a ‘protest’ are idiots.

Oh, and those who do actually think they are Jedis are idiots too (cancel the bit about no offence).

Dave

you is all just jealous of my midiclurian count

Why?

I believe it’s so that people 100 years in the future will be able to identify those who, 100 years in the past, would have been called ‘feeble minded’… 🙄

the online census went quicker than expected!! no jedi nonsense here

well i just did it online and i filled it out for kimbers junior
we are both jedi – hes my young padawan

I was boring and stuck to the “No religion” option. Don’t want to give religious types any extra help misrepresenting the stats.

All you Jedi’s should listen to this:

Yesterday’s Saturday Live.

Contains an interview with the leader of your church, Mr Daniel Jones, or Morda Hehol as he prefers to be known.

More about him here. and here.
Seems even the newest religions feel the need to whine about percieved
injustice 😀

No, but then I have a life.

Notice of Conditional Acceptance and Request for Clarification

Dear Ms. Matheson,

I write in response to the Census form received on –/03/2011.

I must admit to being a little confused, it was my understanding that the census was instigated as a simple numerical count of the population; however, the information required in this census form far exceeds this mandate.

I am happy to complete this census form subject to receipt of clarification of the following points.

1. What law requires me to complete the census?

4. Is the Office for National Statistics lawfully authorised to demand Private property?
5. How can we be penalised for failure to provide information
6. Are there any circumstances whereby security agencies may access census information?
7. Since census data be requested by law enforcement, can I not answer so as to not to incriminate myself?

9. Is the Office for National Statistics responsible for mishandled data?
10. What evidence do you have that I am a United Kingdom Resident?
11. Can you confirm or deny that the census data will be handled by an American Arms Manufacturer Lockheed Martin?
12. Can you confirm or deny that all U.S. companies are subject to the Patriot Act which allows the U.S. Government full access to any data in that company’s possession?
13. Can you confirm or deny that the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 section 39 subsection 4 would allow disclosure of personal information to any and/or all o the following:

Please provide your response in the form of a Statement of Truth, sworn under penalty of perjury and upon your full commercial liability within seven (7) days of receipt of this notice, I respectfully return your census form until such time as these conditions are met.

If I do not receive such a response conforming to the above criteria within, it will be deemed a tacit agreement by your acquiescence that this census is unlawful and that I have no obligation to participate.

Sincerely without malice, ill will, vexation or frivolity

Ooh i like that.

Someone has too much time on their hands.

That’s great. Wish I hadn’t filled mine in now.

I scrawled all over mine……..included what a fantastic full moon night ride I had had over the Duddon Fells!!!

I’m expecting a rewrite.

There were no questions on “magnificence”…..

To quote The Clash

“they told me it would be out here somewhere

out on this road”

and it was…on an old pack horse track at 21.30 under moonlight.

I thought it was important that they understood that but they hadn’t had the foresight to ask.

Nor was there a question anywhere on Henry Weston’s Vintage Cider.

Who writes these things?

lawmanmx

can you post the reply if/when you get it please 😀

Sincerely without malice, ill will, vexation or frivolity

That bit’s wrong, you need to fix it.

Notice of Conditional Acceptance and Request for
Clarification

Does anyone know where this originated?

it was my understanding that the census was instigated as a simple numerical count of the population; however, the information required in this census form far exceeds this mandate.

Which census was that then?

The 1851 census had questions about jobs, place of birth, marital status and “Whether blind, deaf, or idiot”.

And the 1086 Domesday Book census was to determine “What, or how much, each man had, who was an occupier of land in England, either in land or in stock, and how much money it were worth.”

Or do you mean an earlier one? 🙂

1. What law requires me to complete the census?

Mainly the 1920 Census Act, but knock yourself out:

etc etc etc

So, what’s your (or rather the person who wrote this letter) objection then?

You voluntarily choose to live in this country controlled by a government. They supply services and allow you to live here, the freedom to work any job, spend your earned (or unearned) money as you see fit, procreate, etc etc, so why shouldn’t that same government be entitled to ask each of their citizens this set of questions?

If you don’t agree with it, or the level of ‘intrusion’ and prefer a more private life, then haul ass to Siberia, or some sub-Saharan African country where you can live out the remainder of your life in total privacy?

Yeah! Love it or leave it buddy!

Kit, please tell me you’re not serious.
Have… to… resist… the troll…
