One of the Law-abiding majority ?

So you think you are one of the Law-abiding majority ?

More than six out of 10 people regularly commit crimes against the government, their employers or businesses

A poll of 1,807 people in England and Wales found 61% had committed one of a series of offences.

* One in 11 had wrongly used identification for their own gain

* 7% of those questioned had padded out an insurance claim to get more money

* One in 10 (11%) avoided paying their television licence

* A total of 8% did not disclose faulty goods in second-hand sales

* And 6% asked a friend in a bureaucratic job to bend the rules

Of those who admitted to an offence, nearly two-thirds (62%) had broken the law on up to three occasions and 10% admitted to nine or more offences.

I thought they were going to include things like photocopying something at work, borrowing a pen or speeding

I say paying the T.V licence (ie. paying the BBC) is against my Human rights as I don't watch BBC nor listen to BBC radio.

They're forcing me to pay for something I neither use or want.

Entirely agree but....................
