So just because the previous government was incompetent means that it is impossible?

At the risk of provoking the wrath of Fox who seems to make it his my mission to pick apart my opinions on here i'll no post much.

But NPFIT didn't fail because of the previous administration. It failed because it was doomed from the start. Something any future national system for census data would be as well for the same reasons npfit failed and disappeared overnight silently to become Connecting For health ( which itself is reportedly going to be axed by the new administration)

Why would it be doomed from the start if the contract was well made, the company hired had the ability and expertise to carry out the assignment and the system was well designed?

You're opening yourself upto a fine then:-
The only question this did not apply to at the last census was question 10 - religion.

I'd imagine it is in the interests of groups like EDL/BNP to put their religion down as Islam.
That then skews the data slightly and they can make political capital at the sudden rise in (fictional) Muslims.

They probably aren't bright enough to organise such a campaign though.

I think I'll put Christianity down on mine, I disagree with they way they are being blatantly marginalised by politicians, so I'd like to bump their numbers up a bit. Maybe Census data is the new tool for protest.

Here's a random question lol, I'm not sure the government knows my correct address lol as it changes every 7 months, can I phone up 10 Downing street and tell them where I live?

you can't do it in under 4 years?

no one wants the expensive and unrewarding part of a project in their term they want the glorious unveiling.

If you're implying that I use a font that I happen to like in order to be 'different' and 'cool' then you're very much mistaken. Keep this on topic please.

Do you have to change it each time you post or does it remember your settings?
