scrappycocco Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I don't get much free time, I'd rather spend it on my ps3 then fill out this census bullcrap. What can they do if you don't do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fine for not completing and returning a 2011 Census questionnaire is up to £1,000. You may also have to pay costs. However as long as you complete it you should be OK, so just write any old rubbish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topher Bear Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 But how to fill out question 17. Thats the real dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number79 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 since future generations may be searching through these records to trace the family name then any old rubbish just wont do, I think I fancy nuclear physicist or brain surgeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winkie Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The blank question, is only a question on the Welsh census asking them if they can speak Welsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzardo Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 As of this week, I'm a disabled black lesbian, of Irish traveller ethnic origin, living with a same sex partner and several step-children in a home of multiple occupation. And, of course, a brain surgeon in my spare time. Or I get fined a grand for not spending half an hour filling in mindless intrusive cr@p, dreamed up by some public sector tw@t with nothing better to do. Just another reason to leave this dank sh!thole of an over-managed, over-taxed, bullsh!t nanny state. Where is AbsoluteTurdo, anyway, when the indefensible needs a solid defensibiling?

Number79 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 The blank question, is only a question on the Welsh census asking them if they can speak Welsh. and the blank expressions will be on the faces of 99.9% of the population of wales that dont speak welsh when they find out how much it has cost them to have their forms printed in welsh aswell for the remaining 0.1% that can also speak fluent English but are pompass ar5eholes.

jonb Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I don't get much free time, I'd rather spend it on my ps3 then fill out this census bullcrap. What can they do if you don't do it? They can withdraw your local population based funding for local services. Then your place will end up like Slough where Tesco thinks there's twice the number of people there than the government does.

northwestsmith2 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Complete untruthfully or not bother at all??? Just fill in rubbish and get it done. Took me about 60 seconds to complete, nobody AFAIK has been done for failure to correctly fill it out, just the returning part carries a fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riedquat Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I might fill in the not too unreasonable part (i.e. the stuff that's generally useful historically) properly and put crap for the rest. If they really want to know the rest they can come up with an anonymous survey. It's none of their effing business to be able to tie most of it to an individual.

erranta Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Do they fine Blind people? Under their same Orwellian 'loony' rules if you have another disability of any sort you could take them to court for victimising you over others ie non diverse, diversity persecution. Census 1610s, from L. census "the enrollment of the names and property assessments of all Roman citizens" "the biblical Book of Numbers (c.1400, L. Numeri, Gk. Arithmoi) so called because it begins with a census of the Israelites" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number79 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I know that there is a fine for not filling it in and that every question has to be answered but what can be done if we declare ourselves as astronauts working for nasa with father christmas staying over as a guest?

Well, back in the 1980s my mate added Desperate Dan and Lord Snooty to the residents in his household and the council wrote back saying that if those people did in fact reside there, then they would want to see documentary evidence of it. Course, he would have more chance of getting away with it now the forms are probably processed in Bangalore or somesuch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkins Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 All you disabled lesbian astronauts may want to note that you can also be fined for knowingly providing false information. Big Brother has you by the (metaphorical) balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Masked Tulip Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I filled mine in online and got it out of the way. The questions about visitors being in yoru house was bit much. I misread one question and the online form kept refusing me to complete it until I went back all the way through it question by question. I suspect that a great many people filling in the form with pen and ink will make the same mistake as I and hence the census will be worthless.

Harry Monk Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 In the last census, 390,127, or nearly 0.8% of the population gave their religion as "Jedi". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they let you fill it out online before the 27th. All you need is an unexpected house guest and it will be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RentingForever Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm wondering which flavour of exotic translation to order my census in. Apparently the options include: Akan/Twi-Fante, Shqip, Amharic, Sylheti, Tagalog, Igbo, Kurmanji, Surani, Lingala, Luganda, Malayam, Pahari, Pashto, Farsi, Gurmukhi, Shahmuki, Shona, Sinhala, Tigrinya, and Yoruba.
