I threw mine in the bin harder than anyone there is a crater where my bin once stood and I can tell you now it's the best thing I ever did in my life, maybe you are some sort of hot shot around here, I don't know it's none of mine but maybe you live the jetset lifestyle with all of that comfort that we all should want unless theres something wrong mentally with us, well you can take all that and shovel it because as far as I am concerned, I'm telling you now when they come knocking puff you your chest and say 'no, go away I'm not telling you, you can't whack that metal thing on my door, do I whack your welcome mat on your bedroom window to get your attention when I feel like it? You've marked it now and it cost x amount to replace'.

Straight away you've got them by the balls so they better be sure pal, they better know they are already in over their head with their balls in your cupped hand. On whose authority can they knock on your door anyway, could be a bunch of fucking aliens trying to fake officialdom for all you know and you could never have touched the thing being allergic to paper and all. I know I'd like them to search through my bin for the thing be like Journey to the jobcentre of the Earth with my unmarked crumpled census coming out of the other side of the planet and up so far into the cosmos so that when it is seen it is only being seen in space as it was 60 years ago, haha, I'll be dead by the time they view it now and I'm not having any kids in my lifetime so you can't even pursue mine. I might file a child abuse claim against the enquirer knocking at my door and foster his kids when they get taken off him so the authority can sue them for the money see how he likes that ah?

Since the form is dropped off and picked up by an enumerator who keeps a record of it, they would normally call you a lying bastard.

However, since the house is full of people who have the more important matter of doing fuck all to be getting on with they will probably just apologise for the inconvenience.

Apparently if its not returned completed, you'll get a visit and another form to complete.

 

If you persistently refuse or fail to return the form, they have a specialist team of 100 people 1 of whom will pay you another visit.

 

Ultimately its a fine of a grand or imprisonment for failing to complete and return the form.

 

And by return, they mean them receiving it complete with satisfactory answers.

 

Supposedly this is the last ever census too!

You've got bad breath again cos you're talking out your arse.

 

Check it out before calling people liars. Big fine coming your way or even imprisonment.

 

Unless of course you're telling people you havent filled it in being the urban warrior you try and make yourself to be but have already sent it off. :whistle:

A 100-STRONG army of census enforcers has been given police powers to gather criminal evidence against householders who fail to complete tomorrow’s national survey.

 

Anyone who repeatedly refuses to take part will face criminal prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000 as the Office for National Statistics steps up efforts to catch evaders.

 

For the first time in the 210-year *history of the census, a unit of “non-compliance” officers authorised to conduct interviews under caution will visit homes across the country.

 

More than one million people were missed during the last census in 2001, but only 38 were prosecuted. Glen Watson, the census director, promised better targeting of householders who had not filled in their forms.

 

From April 6, a force of 30,000 staff will begin visiting households that had not yet completed the census “during the day, evenings, and at weekends to try and catch people in”, he said.

 

For those who repeatedly refused to take part, a unit of 100 “non-compliance” staff had been recruited to gather evidence for potential prosecution. “It’s a last resort but we expect to have to take action against some who are persistently refusing,” Mr Watson said. “Ultimately, it is a fine and a criminal record.”

 

Looks like you wont be imprisoned.

 

If you got a form, they know where you live.

Nar I'm not feelin that form at all sorry, if they want to jail me I don't give two shiney ones about that. I'm a freeman.

 

Then won't send shit though as theres a millions of people out there just the same they feel no way abar the form and didn't fill in it either. There isn't enough 1-100 people to cope with the millions who haven't filled it out and I don't care if they send a bunch of psychos from parkhurst with meat cleavers round with the form. Lets see what happens I'll Morgan Spurlock this maildrop out this bitch and send the tape if you like. I already binned the form but we can recreate that scene later, day 1, my letter box diaries.

We make a stand now or there will be nobody left to get to tha choppa.

I was speaking to my nan about the census before and how you got fined if you didn't fill it in and she said "Coloureds wont fill it in, they get away with murder"

 

Gotta love census-race-hate

 

It's amazing how this country has NO asian people (according to the 2001 census... :whistle:)

 

I love the suggestion that it's the last one. Hilarious. If the government kept it's intrusions to once every ten years we'd be in a much happier country.

The wife came home in blind panic the other day looking for the form we got through the door because some of her colleagues were telling her of the jail and thousand quid fine. When i told her i had binned it she was straight online ordering a new one. It turned up yesterday and she filled it in on my behalf and virtually legged it to the post box, much to my amusement because i hadn't binned the original, it was still on the window ledge with all the other post, joker that i am.

If you take Dennis's advice you'll be fine. They will threaten to put you in prison but they won't be able to because you never filled out your census form so they will have underestimated the population and won't have built enough prisons.

 

They'll be happy to hit you with a £1000 fine. If you don't pay that then I am guessing it will be handed over to bailiffs who will of course add a random figure to that and they are slightly more persuasive than a letter.

 

Making mistakes on the form by 'accident' however is not a punishable offence and will cause more problems for them than eventually getting your information and £1000 as well.

There not arsed about what name is on. Its the boxes you tick about your health and how you get to work etc..

 

Just a quick bit of advice. If your area has a bad return rate it WILL have an impact on how the council and other charities in the area pump money into where you live.

 

Some charities are relying heavily on the statistics the Census provides (which they never in the past) as they do not have the government funding to do research themselves anymore. Same for the council, they have been hit fucking big time as everyone knows and they need these stats also to see where the money is needed.

 

So if you think your helping by not filling it in, dont fucking moan when the area next door to you are getting more regeneration than your area. You may think you are fucking the government by not completing it, you are actually fucking yourself and any pensioner or disabled person in your street.

 

And I know that they are EXTREMELY keen on fining anyone who doesnt fill it in. It is easier than you think to find who lives at each address.

Why didn't she just fill out online?

Did it online and it took 5 minutes. Dunno what the hardship is.

 

Yeah me too,except i filled it in by hand cos i forgot about the online way,duh!

 

If you are worried about giving personal information away,too late. NI number,Driving License,Bank Account details,pay cheques,rent payment details,tv license etc,theyve got your details from one of them or something else.

 

Just give up 5 mins and save a load of hassle in the future.
