Right now i have the census minions and the TV license "enforcement division" harassing me to no end. They knock on my door and put letter through my mailbox on a weekly basis. I refuse to comply with their totalitarian demands. For security reasons I will not enter in to a contract with either the tv license organisation or the census organisation. I read the legislation and there is nothing in the legislation that states that I have to engage in a contract with them. No one, not even the state has the authority to force someone in to a contract.
The data is collected and they do not guarantee the security of that information, people have suggested completing the form and filling out incorrect information. By doing that you are more liable than not competing the form. The information is not released for 100 years, so what is the point. I have no interest in census because for one I do not support the state and for two, i will never see the statistics anyway.
What i do is not even answer the door, they can't take someone to court if they do not have your name. I am going to move house soon as well. Get away from this totalitarian harassment. Don't get me started on the TV license.
It's law and they were warned...
Not everyone supports the state. Not everyone wants to be in every database. So in the future something that i do today, which we take for granted, becomes criminal, which makes me a criminal. The police can use the census database and the tv licenses database to find me etc.
For security reasons it is recommended to join as little databases as possible. But most people support the state and do not take their information seriously. Same sort of people that are on facebook and their image comes up when you search google images etc. Some people join every shop and have 50 store cards.
I am only in a limited amount of database at the moment and i would like to keep it that way.
It is the law is it?
Show me the part in the legislation then that says I have to do it ?

Apparently my friend has had a £700 fine through for not filling out the census.
I dont get how thats allowed. How on earth can they enforce giving out fines for not wanting to give personal information = \
Obviously groen's never tried to trace his family tree...

Groen, if you really think this country is that bad, pop over to Uganda for a fortnight.
I'm serious.

I am still waiting for the exact part of the legislation which states, i am legally obliged to enter in to a legal contract.

Plus this is not like it was in 1920 when it was first done, where it would just sit on a shelf in a file in some building. This will probably sit on some windows box in a sql database at the military contractors building. Where it could easily be compromised and what not.
