Uk 2021 Census

Recommended Posts

Any reason to prefer filling in a paper version of the census? I hate filling things out online when I can't see to the end  of it as I go along.

Not bothered either way, but not going to do anything until I get something through my letterbox.

Looks like something is going adrift this time.

Why not? And what's going adrift?

I have just filled it in, for my houshold. I was surprised how much information they wanted.

 

The addresses of our employers, never seen that on an old census.

Because, if they don't send me a form, I'll not be filling it in.

If they don't send me a form soon, their plans have got messed up, somewhere.

Must be 'status dependent',, then, because it only asked me what my job title and responsibilities were,  but I am retired.

 

IIRC, that was on the last census too.

What's so hard about ticking a box on a computer?  - You obviously have one.

I don't know why they're even bothering, given nobody has a clue what the population of this country is due to all the illegals here and government incompetence in keeping track of them.

It's not just this country, Sweden recently admitted they have no idea either and their population is about a seventh of ours so what chance is there of our census having any relevance?

Hey there smiler, good to see your positive disposition on the forum this cold morning, cheering us all up.

 

To answer your question, it's simple to work out the  number of illegals.

 

A quick google search tells me there's 83,618 prisoners in the UK

 

So that's your number of illegals.

 

Simple!

How do you know that "... their population is about a seventh of ours..."?

According to Wikipedia, UK population is 68 million, and Sweden's is 10 million.  A search of other websites I did came up with very similar figures.

Annie is pointing out the contradiction.
