Census 2021
- Thread starter Feek
- Start date
i think the fields are linked, as anyone who actually votes jedi is the type who doesn't know their own gender.
That is a bit 'other'. Considering that Great Britain and Northern Ireland have always and will continue to be European. Don't they mean EU citizen, which may be the case if they are a citizen of the 27 and are living here on that date.Had nothing yet. I just fill it in and forget about it till the next time. Seen a few people posting on social media that they were going to write 'European' in the 'other' box though...

Yes how dare the government be inclusive. I object!
Now wheres my bubble of ignorance...
Who knows.
The question was "how would you describe your national identity?" and it's a multiple-choice free question with an other box if you want.
I joined the bandwagon and went with British, English, and European - because I value multiculturalism and integration
Thats my case, if you are British, you are also European. We have not moved to the Americas, Africa or Asia. Geography has not changed in a recent eon.The question was "how would you describe your national identity?" and it's a multiple-choice free question with an other box if you want.

Yeah. There's quite a lot of people who think the EU is the same as Europe though, and that we're now not in "Europe" any more
I'd have probably ticked Earthling if it was an option too to be fair
Dark side or light side?
I'm not filling ours in too far in advance, the way the last few years have been it feels like it would be tempting fate and we'd have the house burn down or something

The question is how you identify not what your address is

Did a census take place in 2001? The reason I asked is because I was on a work placement and I rented a bedsit for the year. I don't recall filling in a census form and I don't think I knew what a census was back then.
In 2011, I had already bought my house by then and I filled it in and posted it off. The one question that did miff me though was: "who else stopped over at your house at this time?" I thought it's more relevant to state where you normally live, even if it was only the temporary bedsit that I lived in 2001 for a year or student digs for example. Covid and support bubbles aside, sleepovers for 1 or 2 nights at parents or at a friend's shouldn't be relevant should it?

Yes - it's the one where people put Jedi as their religion.
It's because they also want to understand the movement of people, which areas get high numbers of visitors etc.
They'll likely get unrepresentative results this year but that's why they ask.

I've heard of the Jedi religion joke / meme. Was 2001 the census when it started?
Cheers. I also just realised about hotels, B&Bs and AirB&Bs, and what owners and travellers will need to declare? Also, what about hospitals if you're unfortunate enough to be in hospital (covid or otherwise)?
