People who want to declare their religion as "Jedi" or call themselves witches will still be able to do so in the 2011 Census, its director has said.Will still be able to do so? That's strange wording don't you think?
Glen Watson, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Census Director, said although putting joke responses on the national survey form was "not an acceptable thing to do", it could not be stopped. "As I say, it's a voluntary question. I'm not really saying that we can stop it."Is it just me or does that feel like he wanted to add the word "yet" at the end of that sentence?
Having seen the government's pronouncement this week about forcing businesses to voluntarily add calorie information to their menus you have to wonder how long it will take before one of them calls for the religion question to be compulsory.

It's not just you. If they can, they will..
People can be any religion they want. What's it got to do with them?
If you smoke why not declare it as a religion in the next census.
Just put "SMOKER"
Half a million Jedis are now recognised. We can do the same.
If that's a 'voluntary' question I wonder how many of the other questions have real legal authority?

And therein lays the problem. "Norse Heather/Germanic Heathen", are accepted, and legal religions in Europe (Our "priests" being empowered to "marry/name/bury" in Iceland). "Saami" with it's own "Norse Heathe similar" religion, even has it's own PARLIAMENT in Norway, Sweden and Finland, with MORE power over Saami affairs than the Jock Parliament has over Scotland!
But because of the infinantely spastic brained "Jedi" cunts, other GENUINE religions are treated by this wanker as "a joke response". I heard from an aquatntance who was a "census officer" that SHINTO is also treated as a "joke response", EVEN when the family name given is Kitsumi, or Shijuro or something.
Governments must never be trusted with sensitive private information about their citizens. Yes, it is legitimate to find out how many voters live where - but anything beyond that is none of their bloody business.
Here, in Canada, we've been having the whole 'does the government have the right to ask all these questions on the census'. They even wanted to know which parent helps the kids with homework!
Private information about their citizens must be denied to governments, because if they had it, they would attempt to use it in social engineering - reason enough....
