Census 2021

The letter came to my house. I took it. Since I lived in a shared house, how does this work?
The 'main householder' (whoever has the tenancy/title deeds, or whoever is down as a billpayer) should complete that Household section and then give each of you the code to complete the individual sections.
 
:D

Much quicker than typing out specially trained field staff to conduct formal interviews under caution as required by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) every time the compliance arrangements are discussed.
you seem unclear about who does what though (shock, horror). Most people carrying out the survey on behalf of the ONS will have had no such training, so you are just encouraging people to sneer and have a go at ordinary workers.

Bills are included so that's the landlord. And I can't imagine him being arsed. Nor any of my housemates. Can I just do my bit?

Back to comedy mode, eh? :D

If he doesn't live there anyone can fill in any of it. Even if he does live there, there isn't anything stopping you from doing it. I'd do it, list the occupants and then do my bit, leaving it up to the others to complete if they want to.

It's online, right? Not a big paper form?

Yup. So you can complete relevant sections but leave the code for others to do their bit. Not sure what happens if you no one ever does so, I'd presume it gets closed eventually but wouldn't sear to it.

Does that mean they would see all of my stuff? Serious privacy issues there.
 
Yes, but you can ask them to send you a paper form

Letter i received already included a paper form and a return envelope so no need to ask. There is also a web address and access code to do it online. I'll do it online on march 21st.

Apparently, this delivery of paper forms is only happening in a limited number of areas in which the ONS predict low uptake of the default online option. So, for most areas, if you want the paper version, you do have to request it.

See, I've been telling everyone that rural Worcestershire is a hotbed of state-crushing anarchism, but I one would believe me....

Ok. I was surprised to get a paper form as everything i'd read about it said it was "online first" but that explains it.
 
Reckon they think you're all old codgers round there!

It's possible that using some metrics the hated state apparatus might think that everyone round here was comfortably past the very earliest stages of spring chicken-dom - personally I prefer to concentrate of their fear of us, knowing us all to be a coiled spring of revolutionary action, waiting for the moment to cast aside our Parish council agendas, throw off our hi Viz tabards at the village show, and charge down the ragged battlements of the Capitalist running dogs and to cast our oppressors into the Severn.

POTD! :thumbs:
 
You misread what I wrote. Yes some people will be charged with doing just that. Same as some traffic wardens are so empowered. But most census workers will not. And you seem to be wilfully confusing the two groups.
Nope, not at all.
But you crack on.
:D
 
Okay, thats nice. Glad we are clear that the people that will be knocking on your door in the next few weeks are not so empowered.
 
Grrr, the wankers have won a legal ruling on the 'sex' question - only a birth certificate or GRC are recognised documents for the purpose of the question.

The wording of the question about gender identity could be a lot better - I found it confusing myself. It doesn’t scan right.

Timing of the judgement looks unhelpful for the ONS; there must have been a significant number of returns already done using the unlawful guidance.
