sparks Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 So, what are you going to do with it? Spoil it, burn it, or just ignore it?... I'm wondering if they're still looking for a bungalow in Brighton with 187 bedrooms?....or whether they understood the 'NOYFB' on the front?.... :Winky: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloneword Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Jesus not that old chestnut...

sparks Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Just to set your mind at ease ALL1, there were only 38 prosecutions for non returns/lies in 2001 ! So go on - have some fun...you know you want to! Last time, the full description of my aforementioned abode was actually an 187 roomed terraced bungalow/house with no toilet available, and the lowest floor level being the fifth or higher. It was council owned, and I lived there rent free... The household members bit was especially good, as I was apparently married to myself in a 'round about way'... I was born at the North pole 800 years ago and have 42 dependants... Oh, and my occupation?....Apprentice Imaginary Being And the Door is still in one piece!..... :Laugh: On a serious note - giving them wrong information is better than giving them no information...!

cobra Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 You All know this will be the last one ever the last census in the U.K I had sone fun doing the last one if they give an example of the answer to a ? I'd put that example as the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alloneword Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I guess i could put some weird answers in for a laugh but i've always been bought up to believe that it was important having said that what about the 1 in 7 illegal immigrants that just vanish when they get here (figures from sky tonight) maybe i should protest when all them lot not o mention the homeless fill it in then i will after all it sounds like discrimination to me.

Gimlet Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Having used all the previously released census data to help me fill in my family tree details I have to say that I for one am a great believer. What are descendants going to think should they research your false data some time in the distant future? Only wish they'd kept it up between Bill the Conq's first ever one in 1086 and 1841 when they started again. As it is I can only get back to the early 1700's as the church records aren't that great.

sparks Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hopefully my decendants will think the same as me.... ! And despite their protestations otherwise (they quote: Data Protection Act 1998, Census Act 1920, Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007), there were provisions put in place in the Identity card act 2006 (which they ignore of course) that allows information to be accessed and shared. Although this act was repealed on Dec 21st, the data sharing clauses were kept in place, hence my muted response to something that should have been a major victory - the champagne is still in the bottle! Our ancestors could not have foreseen a future where the state seeks to have an ever increasing (and easily accessable) amount of data held on an individual, which can be used against that individual when it suits...so the safest option now is to deny the state any useful information wherever possible... Personal census information is held securely for 100 years before being made available to the public You and I won't see the information, but the government can....and will ! The nazi's manipulated their census in 1933 and 1939 (and used previous ones) to include territories they claimed, and to eventually help identify (thank you IBM) certain populations...are you absolutely sure it 'couldn't happen here'? And who formulates the questions?.. 'Jedi' was the 4th most popular religion last time, and yet apparently there will no 'tick box' answer this time, whilst there will be for ones which have less adherants. It may be obvious that it was a joke, but then which religion isn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 What religion are you going to put in this year I'm going to put "Origin" any one who has seen Stargate SG-1 and the Ori will get the joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparks Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Since this load of b*llocks is fast approaching, I just thought I'd remind people about why any info you give is NOT secure... The ONS are lying about it! Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007, s39: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2007/18/section/39 (4)Subsection (1) does not apply to a disclosure which— (a) is required or permitted by any enactment, (b) is required by a Community obligation, © is necessary for the purpose of enabling or assisting the Board to exercise any of its functions, (d) has already lawfully been made available to the public, (e) is made in pursuance of an order of a court, (f) is made for the purposes of a criminal investigation or criminal proceedings (whether or not in the United Kingdom), (g) is made, in the interests of national security, to an Intelligence Service, (h) is made with the consent of the person to whom it relates, or (i) is made to an approved researcher.

Mr Dead Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 5 hundred million quid they reckon it's costing this time for this crap to go ahead personally only info they will get from me is family info how many in house who they are and that's it. As for things like ethnicity and how many cupboards in my house they can whistle Save the millions save the jobs if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 27.03.11 The Census ? Wonder if they'll dare tell us how many non-working third world immigrants we have to thank Labour for ? There'll be no jokey "Jedi" in the religion spot this time. Bet the PC brigade deem the question "islamaphobic" or "racist" eh ? And "working ?" too I should imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a reason for such. And it's done for precisely the reasons you dismiss. Of course it's to spy on you. ALL governments (and Councils) do But I don't really care. Ive nothing to hide.

Alloneword Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well the poor old postie today looked more like a fooking donkey then a bloke, yes i have mine now (but if anyone asks never seen it b4) i think i'll fill it in as far as how big house is who lives and for how long etc but some of the other info is way OTT IMO, ignore weather you can trust the govt or not (most know we can't anyway) but some of the stuff is a joke. How well do u speak english. race, well if were all equal what the fu ck has that got to do with the price of fish. What qualifications do i have. what passprts do i have. How would u describe your national ID, well that's an easy one F U C K E D, they can stuff most of this sh1t, so at worst i'll do a bit of porridge, well at least i'll get some peace to play my games and watch daytime TV, not to mention the compo for not voting :Winky: All1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Having received the purple document earlier today, I've actually had second thoughts about wasting my time on ficticious answers.. It was the phrase "Your census response is required by law" that did it, along with the 'confidential' lie... So as a consquence our chickens are giving their 'response' , as they are happily sh*tting on the shredded document as we speak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloneword Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Found out this morning 2 million people failed to do it last time, you can add me to the list now, i would be happy if i felt it was used for something worthwhile, like working out how many people there are so we can work out schools and hospitals etc but they have gone too far and asking too much personal info which IMO they don't need, so take me to court it's not big deal i should be able to pay the fine of within 10 years, just enough time for next time. :He-he: All1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 As I said before, 38 prosecutions - out of those 2 million you talk of All1...! If you get charged, I will personally appear in your defence, and that is a promise... We have a campaign going on (Concensus? - Census Con!), which aims to refute the lies about confidentiality and which will hopefully persuade enough people to bin the form in order to make it meaningless.. like working out how many people there are so we can work out schools and hospitals etc They already have that information, but choose to ignore it...this will be just the same. And cost us all £400m for the privilege! Still, at least Lockheed Martin will make a profit - I wonder who will get a well paid virtual seat on their board?... :Winky: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
