As title tbf. Up to a grand fine if you don't send it off by tomorrow.

There isn't half some bollocks on it.

Would they seriously fine you? Can't you just say "I never got one to fill in?"

Someone will come to your door about ten times hassling you before they'll even think about fining you.

which is probably worse than the fine. Filled ours in, was tempted to go with Jedi, but decided not and left that blank instead.

13. What happens if I don't complete my questionnaire?

You could face prosecution, a hefty fine (up to £1000) and a criminal record.

It was great how it came with the help list for every language under the sun too lol

Should have said religion was petrolhead. Then any further fuel tax rises and punitive CO2 nonsense could be taken as religious persecution

It's ridiculous anyway. Seriously how controling do these people think they are. Also threatening with fines . The countrys fucked and all as they do is send forms asking about who lives in your house etc and job . How is that going to benefit anyone? Plus majority of people will be jobless anyhow . Waste of money IMO and no I haven't filled mine in and won't be either

Don't go complaining next time you go to the dentist and can't get in...in a huge waiting list at a hospital etc. One of the useful things it does is gives local councils amo to get more funding for services. Its one of the few times they have real numbers ot back up the hunches about the numbers of people in each area.

Edited for truth.

I was going to put my religion down as biker. If you think about it You get dressed up, Go out on a Sunday and go down on one knee. Similar to what happens in a church.

Wander if they would accept it though!
