BBC News reported that 10 members of a police force just outside Glasgow, Scotland “listed their official religion as Jedi on voluntary diversity forms.“
Apparently, it is the only police force in the UK to have admitted that there are Jedi faithful in their midst. Interestingly, however, in the 2001 census of UK citizens about 404,000 people listed their religion as Jedi.
Police Review editor Chris Herbert stated, “The Force appears to be strong in Strathclyde Police with their Jedi police officers and staff. Far from living a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, some members of the noble Jedi order have now chosen Glasgow and its surrounding streets as their home.“
Much of the article seems to be quite tongue-in-cheek. I find their lack of faith disturbing.
May the Force be with you.
