Yes, the Census have a special team for the Pikeys. Nowt they can do if they refuse to fill it out. The will just send a compliance team round.

Are they still asking that dumb question about "are you Scottish, Welsh or British?", with nowhere to write "English"?

Clarebabes 07 March 2011 07:01 PM

I've done mine :D

They ask what you consider your national identity to be and you can tick more than one, so I ticked, "English" and "British". This means that there's no arguing about "Nationality" in this instance! :)

lozgti1 07 March 2011 07:19 PM

Born in England=English
Wales=welsh
Scotland=Scottish etc etc

Why is British in the same list???!!

Clarebabes 07 March 2011 07:20 PM

Oh God, please don't start this debate again! :rolleyes: :)

Born in Eastern Europe (and now living in the UK) = British - simples!

Yep. As long as it's not false information they can't touch you as far as I can see. Sarcasm isn't a criminal offense as yet (wait a few months though!).

The government has always carried out the census but for the first time they have got a private company involved this time:
Interestingly they have chosen to give Lockheed Martin £150 million for the job. In case you don't know they are one of the biggest arms companys in the world. Why would they give the job of collecting information on people to a company in the business of killing people.

The contract will have been given to whichever company promised the biggest amount to whichever party was in power when it was signed. Allegedly.

Dr Hu 08 March 2011 02:01 PM

If they had something like 100,000 people be 'JEDI' 10yrs ago (including me;)) when the internet was in its infancy.... just think how many could 'warp' the results nowadays, it would only need a comedy facebook group, or something to go viral and its all over....:D

Can't wait....lol

In fact thats got me thinking.....hmmmmmm

Leslie 08 March 2011 02:14 PM

The question that annoyed me last time was that when you were asked your nationality you were not allowed to say you were English, it had to be British. I don't know if that applied to Welsh or Scottish people as well, Someone will know.

Les

Miniman 08 March 2011 02:39 PM

Les, it includes all options now (though no doubt the Cornish will complain 'cause they aren't seperately listed :-) ) and you can tick multiple. So if you think you are all - British, Welsh, English, Scottish and Norn Irish, you can be!

You'll just get a visit from an enforcement team, or a fine. Not worth it, mate, just fill it in.

And with a private company doing it, fines WILL be levied, it's another way of raising revenue:(
