Now we are all minorities…
Today the Office of National Statistics (ONS) revealed more information from the 2021 Census in England and Wales, and it was the bit about the voluntary question on Religion. Now, I’m not going to get side tracked, but there’s an interesting subtext here about the census. Are we a united kingdom or not? Why is…
