British authorities threatened Iain Turnbull, 63, with a fine
(equivalent of $1,530) in August because he refused to complete the
mandatory census earlier this year. Turnbull, from Wales, was protesting
that the government, intending to be progressively "inclusive," made
available census questionnaires and instructions in such languages as
Urdu, Punjabi and Tagalog -- but not Welsh (one of Britain's native
languages, spoken by a half-million citizens). [BBC News, 8-12-2011]
