Hopix, it's like i've been saying - Boris is a fucking idiot and not an ally of the people whose votes he was given
Yeah I'm going off him
If only the opposition wasnt so shite, and we didn't have a voting system that forces you to vote for one or the other
If Brexit is settled at the next GE I'm going to vote for another anyway
woke
we just need PeP to come along and tell us who to vote for now
Census is quite expensive, but it does sound like he's full of shit, and it's not unreasonable given the past decades, to be deeply suspsicious of the motivation
its to stop people being anxious about their demographic demise
There might be some truth to that
What other reason is there?
Cost?
Lmao
Lol
How much does this cost
Well it's the government, so 10 times more than it should
We must privatise national data collection
" The total cost of the 2011 Census in England and Wales over the period from 2004/05 to 2015/16 is estimated to be £482 million. This is more than twice the £210m spent on the 2001 census. This breaks down to a cost of 87 pence per person, per year (over the life of the census – ten years). "
There's some truth in the ability to collect data from other sources
Why not just keep using the current method
Like, from council records
"Harmful content",
I can think of 482,000,000 reasons
Ugh, fuck off
They know about the demographics
Shut it down
Devil is in the detail, Hopix
What should it cost?
Yeah it might not be as bad, fucking sounds it though
Almost nothing, Caledonian - NI records + Voting register + Council Tax ledgers should be enough
Crowdfund it
yeah, they need all that money to put towards HS2
The "Make online platforms make clear what is allowed and what is not" is actually a pretty based step
It's those grey areas that allow Twitter and Youtube to censor based on political views
But it's not clear enough, so will be abused by whomever is in power, for whatever purposes they feel useful
If it's just a case of being banned then who cares
But if its presecution then no
