Number 10 Strikes Back
Via James Graham I see the Government has given an excellent (if slightly hand-washing) response to a petition calling for recognition of Jedi Knights as a religious group.
The Government has no overarching role in regulating or recognising personal belief or faith. The UK has a long held commitment to freedom of worship and belief, and people are free to form religions and free to follow their own practices and beliefs provided they remain within the law.
May the Force be with you.
I’m just waiting until I can claim relegious holidays as a Jedi…
‘More time off work, Adam?’
‘Yeah, it’s a sith thing.’
Can’t wait.
