The view from Russia Today. They don't seem impressed by Lockheed Martin

I’ve always assumed that British and US intelligence cooperate and should they wish they have access, via assorted legislation/links, to a vast range of an individual's personal records, e.g.

- central government
- local government
- police computers
- educational records
- NHS records
- Email
- ISPs
- phone records
- hacking your computer
- supermarket accounts
- Google/YouTube
- Ebay/Skype/PayPal
- Facebook
- Twitter
- DODGY TAX AVOIDERS

If I’m right there’s surely nothing on a census form TPTB couldn’t find out by other means?

exactly.

I used to think along the line of "oh my god, big brother is watching you" and used to be very anti census. Then I just thought, sod it.

Really, paranoia is not needed. TPTB couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, so collating some 60 million peoples data and picking you out as a victim for further study is hardly likely. How important do you reckon the average prole is?

Now everyone, tin foil hats off.

Isn't it amazing how quickly stuff spreads with the help of Facebook

And its' 'top tweet' for #census.

The guy that tweeted "I still need to complete my census form for the government, but can't fit "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" into the box!" clearly hasn't read the Peace News article.

Why the hell they felt the need to commission a US defence contractor to do a bit of data collection, I do not understand.

Nor me, but I don't like the sound of it. The Patriot Act basically gives the US Government free rein to do anything they like with anybody, with no legal recourse whatsoever. (Among other things, they can force "vaccines" down you and if those vaccines do you any damage or kill you, though shit.)

At least they have a constitution to stick a loophole in.

There's no reason for them to ask for names and employers' details.

Agree about the epolymer's neam

- I can see no reason why that is needed.

Short version: http://www.peacenewslog.info/2011/03/ho ... t-version/

I didn't see anywhere (and there were a lot of places to look) about writing badly, with indistinct and/or incomplete letters (e.g. | _ for L) or writing right to the edge of the boxes or overlapping.

Will be practising crossing out and writing outside the box.

I quite like the idea of putting in false information to mess it up. Not names and addresses but things which are nothing to do with the Governent like state of health and qualifications (I could give myself a PHD!).

Who's going to check sixty million records to see if your health is really as bad as you say?

(I definitely am getting more left-wing as I grow older.)

A bit unusual but not a health issue unless it indicates something gone wrong between your ears. If you get an urge to pay more taxes you should have a thorough check up.

That's really useful, biff. I've passed it on to various UK people.

The Irish census is being processed by a firm called CACI. Anyone any information about them?
