Be that as it may, what I find interesting is this quote from the Telegraph article:
Ministers intend to introduce an annual count once the survey method has been improved. They say they need the information to plan public service provision more accurately.What sort of "public service provision" requires this sort of information does not bear thinking about. But it is ironic that a political movement that was ostensibly based on the idea that a what a person does in private is private is now the cause of the government prying into our bedrooms on an annual basis.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
