It had more questions on it than previous years forms and some of them seemed to have little or no relevance to anything.
Now don't go asking me which ones they were because I have deleted them from my hard drive(my brain).....and if they pull up my form for some of the (maybe) less than truthful answers, then I will deny all knowledge of them........anyway it was himself who signed the front page.....and HE didn't check my answers.

They say that this may be the last census, but I'm not sure it will, and I feel we are constantly being told to do things, by governments, that will be good for us, because it will let them know what we as a society need!
Don't be daft....they know we need jobs, then know we need medical and social care, they know we need towns and cities with suitable infrastructure to support those needs.

And.....this is the crux, they should know how many of us there are in this country.
You have to register births, marriages and deaths. Marriages do not matter much, since many people these days do not bother with such a formality.

The problem for governments arose when they stopped checking who was coming into the country....illegal immigrants, but it is still going to be a problem because such like these folk won't have filled in a census form will they.

I was taught to be questioning, to seek out information and not take everything on face value....that many people have their own agenda when asking you to do something, and that they might tell you it was to improve things for myself if I did what they wanted......this is especially true of government(whatever persuasion), their agenda is always different to what they would have us believe.

Saw you didn't sign it then Margaret, so if you wanted to be a devil you could have register himself as a Jedi Night then
