Census 2021

[Feek]

@Kenai I missed that. Words fail me.

One of my friends identified as 'European' and felt the need to post all over social media. No one cares, we've left. If you feel that strongly buy a house in the EU and move.

We're still part of Europe, just not part of the European Union. They are two different things.

Any ways, bit of a rant and probably a conversation for a thread by itself.

Actually a really interesting read, thank you.

French Huguenots

That's where my lot are descended from.

Can we have a new emote?

 

[Feek]

I know, right. Plus, it doesn't have a hat yet for Christmas

 

[Feek]

I haven't seen any posts on social media yet refusing to fill it in but I'm sure there will be plenty by people who think they're too important and that this is a breach of their human rights or some other such garbage.

Yeah I didn’t do mine and somebody knocked last week and told me if it’s not done in the next week they will be back with a £1000 fine, absolute joke, needless to say I filled it in but they now see me as as tea pot , working as a toothpaste lid screwer oner with the emotion of a stick of a rock, they didn’t say anything about getting a fine for giving the wrong answers lol

Why is it an ‘absolute joke’, do you think you’re above the law?

“It is an offence to supply false information or to not complete the census, and you could be fined up to £1,000.”

I hope you get fined, I really do.

 

[Feek]

Maybe it's because of too many people in the local area putting absolute guff in their census and making it look as if the funding for services isn't required

Oh, the irony

 

[Feek]

Someone convince to be fill the Census form out please.

Because it’s the law. It’s been a legal requirement to complete the census for over one hundred years.

Why do you think the law doesn’t apply to you?

 

[Feek]

If it was the law to carry ID documents with you everywhere and if you are found to not be carrying them you are fined would you comply?

Not a good example really as I never go out without my wallet which has ID in it.

You've had three visits regarding this, when they turn up and arrest you, will you then fill it in?

 

[Feek]

I asked if you would be ok if it was compulsory to carry ID on you at all times and to be fined if you don't, you didn't answer that.

Yes, if that was the situation, it wouldn't bother me at all.

Also, do you think it's right that you can be arrested and have a criminal record for not filling in the census form? It's all very well saying that's it's the law, but do you agree with it?

Yes I do. The census isn't just for now, it provides future generations to look back and learn about the past and I think that's really important.

If you read the opening post in this thread, you'll be able to work out my opinion on people who don't fill out the census.

I just sent a polaroid.

Kryten?

 

[Feek]

wow, to see such willingness and unquestionable compliance at the proposal of a very authoritarian idea is very depressing.

Many countries have an Obligation of identification, it's not something that would affect or bother me.

Back to the point though, why do you feel you shouldn't fill in the census? Why are you repeatedly ignoring requests from officials asking you to fill it in?

You picked me up on not answering your question so now it's my turn.

You've had three visits regarding this, when they turn up and arrest you, will you then fill it in?

You didn't answer this.

 

[Feek]

but I'm sure there will be plenty by people who think they're too important and that this is a breach of their human rights or some other such garbage.

I see we have one

 

[Feek]

What happened ten years ago, did you fill it in then?
