Refusing to fill out the census

First youtube video that has made me comment on it for the poster being a grade A tool.

If a bunch of lazy bum students (me and my housemates) can fill it in, why can't this guy?

Move out of your house, live on the street and you won't have to fill out the form.

I don't think that is reasonable. The need for an individual to live a happy life is more important than the need of the state to collect information.

You don't break the law to protest against it. Or at least you can't expect to get away with it.

I disagree entirely. Breaking a law is one of the most effective ways to protest against it. Some of the most unjust laws in history have been protested against in this way.

I think I'd have a bit of an lol if I read the 1901 census and found my great grandad had registered his trade as an underwater flagpole painter.

I'm probably just bored of filling out government forms. The amount of times we have to separately convey information about our lives to different government departments is approaching ridiculous. I am pretty sure somewhere the state is aware of the fact that I am a white male, with no religion, with a UK passport, that I travel frequently, my address last year, what my qualifications are, the fact I have a job blah blah. Record it once and let me/request that I update it. It's not hard.

Shame that all Lockheed did was supply the software so all your "stand" is doing is making it more expensive for the census people rather than Lockheed. But I admire your principled, though ill-informed, stand against american capitalism...

I just hope you didn't tick the box saying your English is excellent.
 
what a little git, thinking he's a clever, the census is naff, but your council will be allocated around £450 for each form returned, and funding is based on those stats for all sorts of things
 
Good on him. I think its pretty poor that the 1st question most of the population ask when told to jump by the government is how high before meekly obeying.
Personally I dont answer the door unless I am expecting a pizza delivery.

And his argument against it is ridiculous. I never entered into a contract wherby I would refrain from raping and murdering people, but I'm pretty sure that wouldnt stop me being prosecuted.

There is bit of a difference. One is forcing you to do something against your will, and the other is preventing you from doing something against somebody else's will.

Alternatively the actual request isn't onerous and so most people are relatively happy to comply considering what the information is used for.
