Francis Maude, the Cabinet Office minister, said the Census, which takes place every 10 years, was an expensive and inaccurate way of measuring the number of people in Britain.
The above comes from an article in the online Daily Telegraph.
It would seem that counting people is an extremely difficult undertaking. In order to save money the Goverment is asking local schoolboards to include Census Taking in the Curriculum.
Students in Year 5, in schools across Britain, are soon to be counting people in their towns, making tallies and graphing the data on both bar and pictographs.
This will benefit Britain twofold.
a) It will save the expense because pupils in schools will be doing it for free
b) It will be extremely accurate, assuming the students are taught the concept of 'many to one' when drawing their graphs.
British teachers are said to be 'on board' but it's not yet been ascertained whether or not this means 'on board with the new census idea' or 'on board' meaning 'gone on cruises to avoid all of this political rubbish.'
One teacher is reported as having said,
"How the hell can you have faith in a bleeding Cabinet Minister who has two women's names. I could have taken him more seriously if he'd had a name like, Butch Cassidy."
More as this story unfolds - or 'implodes' whichever comes first.
