I've been following the online comments of the census collectors and wondered if the odd post might be errr - 'planted'?
Time to get the video recorder primed for phase 2 I reckon.
Just do a search on YouTube. Wonderful entertainment!

Me too. Any posts instilling fear or hopelessness should be treated with suspicion.

You're welcome!

Don't be daft. Speaking as an ordinary member of the public with no affiliation with Capita or the ONS. I was with you guys and gals until I realised the futility of it all. Now, I have filled in and sent off the Census form, so there I feel so much better for. Is this really worth a criminal record, two years imprisonment* and a £1000 fine for? I have also been told that on good authority that you wont get away with hiding behind the sofa from the Enforcement Team. They will have special police powers to interview you under caution**, search your property, arrest you and fine you on the spot, seize your property, house and car and drag you off to jail*. I am only telling it like it is, not trying to instil feelings of fear, hopelessness or anything. It is your decision if you want to go to jail*.




*Penalty only available in Northern Ireland
** Interviews in Scotland are conducted in line with Scottish Criminal Law

Here's a prime example of fear mongering claptrap.

I would think this is just someone trying to be funny.
Note: empasis on the 'trying'.

Not found on the member database either

Nice try buddy

Now, go take your Crapita threat-o-gram and shove it


"trying" - bloody women comediennes

You don't need luck. You don't need anything.
They have no authority.
They can't fine you or prosecute you - unless you want them to.

No contact = no information = no power.

I wouldn't worry about it, Miss G , these goons have no more "powers" than a duster salesperson

Don't say that. My neighbourhood needs a bit of excitement!
I was holding out for a 20 strong armed response unit.
'Come out with your hands up and your census completed'!
(I might just give in if they are fit )
I could be on the 6 o'clock news an all.....
Granny fends off census enforcers with cup cakes.
Sigh...

Exactly, for a successful prosecution you would have to open the door to the "non-compliance officer" and their witness (assistant), say to their face "I am refusing to complete and return a census form", give them your details, allow yourself to be "interviewed under caution", sign a "statement of refusal". (Kind of like TV Licensing ) This is what they want you to do; first mistake is opening the door to these goons.

Sorry to burst your bubbe, but it isn't going to happen I doubt that you will even receive a personal visit from Glen Watson to collect his precious form

Hey that's genius.
Now everyone comply but insist on giving your form to him personally

Just for your edification and delight.
Sorry don't know how to embed

Give that man a medal.
Howay the lads!

I've already filled my in... and still waiting for the knock at the door... from Glen. I'm trusting no-one with my precious personal information expect Glen. My form must pass from my hand straight into Glen's. If Glen wants to pop round to collect me form I'll put the kettle on. Can't say fairer than that.

Just to think that just a couple of months ago I was out marching against stoodent fees... and every one of these mini-nazis (you can tell by the look on their face that they KNOW that they are doing wrong) has looked suspiciously like a stooodent. Tell you what... it'll be the last time that I go marching for these b!"£!"£. "£1 MILLION A DAY FEES FOR STOODENTS". Talk about cutting your own throat...

How scandalous that the recruitment process for census collectors didn't take looks into account.

you are indeed perfectly entitled not to open the door. With attitudes such as this, maybe it is best that you don't.

Originally the collectors were contracted until 6th May.
There is information that some have been offered an extension until 8th May, but I can't confirm this ATM.

The enfarcers were employed from 26th April, and will be unleashed on the 6th May - up to 12th August.
They will be paid one weeks holiday 13 - 19 August, then bye-bye.
Some will be needed if anyone gives them a statement, which they will use against you.

They will only have the same 'powers' as the tv licence people i.e. NONE,
unless you are foolish enough to give them your name and details.

Treat these enfarcer goons as tv licence ...lice! Ignore them totally.

These census nazis have been round hassling me old nan 20. This is an elderly woman and quite frankly I am disgusted. Last time I told the evil bitch to f!"£ o!"£! She started ranting about how an ex-police or ex-solicitor would be round to take a statement and how my gran would be arrested and thrown in jail. I am flabbergasted at this nonsense. These census Nazis are no different to the brownshirts of Nazi Germany. In fact they are the very people who used to snoop and inform on their neighbours, so no change there. They should be shunned by all decent society and tattooed on their forehead with a great big Swastika. How far would these scum stoop? I know I shouldn't say, but my nan used to live in Eastern Germany and the tales she tells are frightening in that they are the way this country is heading. My nan's late husband who was persecuted by the Nazis would be rolling in his grave. This is the march to Fascism, being fed fed by an insidious propaganda form the media, and it is with these census scum that this starts. This is my prime reason for refusing to have anything to do with this snooping census. When we wake up in a Totalitarian state then those who refused to partake will have a clear conscience. And this is the crux, it is a matter of conscience. Can you put your hand on your heart and say: "I believe that this census is benign; it will help to build more hospitals and schools". Or do you believe that there is a more sinister agenda and your children and grandchildren will curse you at a future time for your betrayal and failing to take a stand. If you are filling out and returning this form out of fear then please think again because if you do so your children and grandchildren will have a lot more to fear in the future. Thank you for reading.

Whatever your reaction, there is no excuse for that. It's called 'intimidation'. It's also nonsense. What a shame no recording.
Stand firm!

We've got a census woman sat in her car watching our house from further down the road for 3 to 4 hours!! at a time. Sometimes, we can see her scribbling notes; we have also seen her going to an elderly neighbours. This this *normal* behaviour for these people? Or is this how she fills her "duty hours"? This is seriously weird. We feel stalked "Oh, look there is that crazy woman sat in her car again". It is like something out of Fatal Attraction, maybe she has the hots for hubby. Or maybe this is the type of folk that are attracted to this "job", crazies

I've been listening in to census bods posting in a public forum. Most revealing. One jokingly (?) referred to 'staking out' a house with a packed lunch.
Where I live, strangers and their vehicles stand out like a sore thumb.
Spotted a stranger the other day and thought 'I'm not leaving till you do'. Probably a total innocent!
Just wondering whether I should order my paranoia meds now .
