I dont intend filling the census in. Cant see the value in it tbh.
We had a form round at work a bit back. Asked our nationality/ethnic b gnd via tick boxes. Under the "white" options it had Welsh, Scottish , British and Other. I complained it didnt have English on it. Was told to wind my neck in The rest of the shift took an interest and loads more complaints went in as well as most ticking "white other" really skewed their results Small victory but a god un. |

or maybe english was left off deliberately and some expert decided to add the option "other" to make the figures suit them ... you could have played into there hands . should have refused to complete until your legally recognised nationality/option was included on the form . |

probably english isnt a nationality, yet, the scots, welsh, northern ireland even have
own governing bodies, assemblies what ever. til we kick em out of westminster and have that as ours, omg playing to the edl now lol, we, the english wont have a nation. mind i'd start again, maybe in planks back yard and bull doze westminster or let it flood as it will sooner or later.

dont the welsh/scottish assemblys seem a waste of time? until there allowed to do everything for themselves there just an added exspense! money we could use to beef up security around our real power base,somewhere in a field nr dudley lol

However i replied that we were known collectively as Welsh, Scottish and English with British being considered more an overarching description as in British isles (Irish wasnt even on the form!!!) They couldnt counter that one which is why the boss tol d me to f off and the shift fill in the closest |

with the new way the world is so freely viewing what is going on around the world (live) demonstrations and the falling of dictators around the world . the way wars a fought. the world is all falling for what we all hope or lead to believe is a democratic world .... trouble is what freedom do WE in the democratic societies actually have . ok we dont stone to death adulterous wives, or cut of limbs from thieves, or publicly execute other criminals ... but those are the laws of the land that have been around for a long period of time , people know the risk before crimes are committed and are bought up knowing the laws of the land they inhabit . in our free country/society there is still a consequence/punishment for not towing the line . i wonder if . we are not all being sold the dream of a free society when really we are actually getting a new world order if you think about it a new world order is one person as a president of the world and something close to the nazi party/army to keep the peoples in line without the ethnic cleansing they are already wanting in place i.d cards. no passports grass on your neighbour . and yes you can do that online with all the big ones i honestly wonder what freedoms we actually get in this free society. but i struggle to find any other option . if you look at hitlers reign of terror, it was a bloody well organised and efficient machine. if you look past the tanks and guns . the bit i never understood so researched a lot. was the cleansing of the german race, where they put to death or experimented on there own people (even worse when you think ordered by an austrian bloke with black hair). we as free society are repulsed by the nazi's crimes or dictators ethnic cleansing and experimenting on the sick. but how many of our new medical techniques are a direct result of the sick stuff the nazi doctors did , often to there own people so getting back on topic, ill just do my census . its a nothing in the light of things |
