Came round the other day.....
Census cop: "Hi, our records show that you havnt filled in the 2011 Census yet"
Me: "Yep"
Census cop: "Well my job is remind all the people who havnt filled it in that it is still outstanding and see if I can offer any assistance"
Me: "Judging by the amount of sheets you have on that clipboard there is little chance you are going to be made redundant as part of the government cuts"
Census cop: "Ha ha, I know, there are hundreds who havnt filled it in. Are you gonna fill yours in?"
Me: "We'll see"
Census cop: "Well try and get it in asap otherwise you will get another follow up visit"
Me: "Ok"
Dont mean to be funny but if he is gonna have to go through all them sheets before he visits me again I will be lucky to see him before the 2021 census is due![]()
cos you're a pikey.![]()
Seen him standing at the door the 2nd time so had to do a lap of the bar until he'd gone.

Why aren't you filling it in?
Because they are nosey bastards who have no reasonable requirement to have personal information about me or my family.....If it is for the reason claimed ie "to help them allocate resources to a particular area" then why do they need my name, dob, kids names and dob, race, religion, phone number etc....All they require is number of people and rough ages.
They can gan fuck themselves....Eventually I will be forced to fill it in or be prosecuted but I will just write an utter load of bollox so it becomes useless to them.
I dont trust government, any government with any information....While I cant stop them going out and getting it if they really want it I certainly wont be helping them to collect it.
I support completely peoples' privacy but the census does a different job. It establishes transiency and living habits. If you feel that strongly about privacy, then stop your credit, debit and loyalty cards and by the way, disable your cookies and all tracing aspects of your PC. Or do the max and become an off-gridder.
Similarly while we have a "relatively" benign government in charge of the country now so did Germany at one point....How do you know that such information will not be used to persecute you on the basis of your race or religion in the future? Look at what happened in places like Boznia in the past when the knowledge of a persons ethnicity could have got them killed (probs by their next door neighbour). Paranoid? Where government is concerned too right I am, wouldnt trust the fuckers as far as I could throw them.
Ultimately if they want the info they will get it, Im just not gonna help them...Why do they for instance need to know my ethnicity? I am a human being. What possible positive reason can there be for having that information other than to discriminate against either me or somebody else?
