Census: do it today or £1000 fine

[pabloescaban]

Today is the last day to complete your census.
Failure to fill it in can result in a £1000 fine.
I did mine last week, took me about 10-15 minutes.
Census 2021
You need the long code number in your letter to fill the form

Ehh why? I thought this was optional.

Edit just had a quick look I had no intention of filling it in but I guess I need to lol

Nope it's not optional.
Some of the questions are optional - you don't have to answer them, mostly concerning sexual orientation but all the others have to be answered.

It's not difficult to do just do it and get it out the way for the next 10 years.

Done mine didn't take long at all.

Not worth potential fine.

It's easy to do on-line same as wearing a mask in public places is, some will do it some won't, don't know how they will know if you have filled it in truthfully though.
Remember if put down just one person living in a property you could get a 25% reduction if claiming benefits.
