Belfast News: Big Brother Time 2011 Census

Once again, the public are 'required' to partake in a census, under the guise, that it is aimed at helping to shape public policy and plan resources for the future.

The census questionnaires have started to go out in the post today, with the census day itself, falling on Sunday the 27th March 2011. Every household in the land, will receive the questionnaire and is then required to complete and return it by post or logon and complete it online.

Registrar General Dr. Norman Caven said "Knowing how many people live in Northern Ireland allows us to work out the types of services they will need in the future. The information gathered by the census will be used by government to help plan important services such as houses, schools, and roads." Dr. Caven continues to stated that you are 'required by law' to complete the census.

So once again, your democratic rights are set aside so that the Big Brother authorities can update their database on you, your household and even your religious faith. In the spirit of democracy, those conducting the census have warned those who don't complete it, 'Compulsory action will follow'
