Stay European!

As we fill the census returns in over the next week there is the opportunity to take a stand and make a small protest at the rights which have been stripped away from us since leaving the EU. Everyone can declare themselves European on the national identity question by ticking the box marked other, and then writing European in the space below. You can tick more than one box, so it is perfectly acceptable to identify as British European, English European or Welsh, Scottish or Northern Ireland European too if that fits.
A tiny protest but one which will remain on record for the next 10 years as the Brexit disaster and it's attack on our rights as citizens and the devastating effects on our economy plays out. I recommend this action to everyone.
 
Why stop there?

I'd love to see you and your fraternal comrade 20s belting out "Le Marseillaise" outside the West Stand before a home game. 😀

Yes it arrived last week and you complete it on line but you can request a paper version and have until 21st March to complete it.
 
Did mine last night why on Earth would anyone put European as the O/P says a small protest I'd go further minuscule.

Brexit done, Tories winning the last election, Comrade Corbyn now history, surely it would be easier just upping roots and go and join your European friends on a permanent basis?

I didn't ask, wasn't even aware it was time, we still got them yesterday.

Oh, maybe it was just the letter, I lost interest quickly after asking what the post was.

Just totally embarrassing but funny got to give you that,
 
What were you doing 10 years and 1 month ago. 20 years and 1 month ago and 30 years and 1 month ago?

Answering the door to a bloke who tells me I haven't filled the census form in.

That's quite funny. Even Europeans don’t want to be European. According to the EU’s annual Eurobarometer survey undertaken jointly by the European Commission and the European Parliament in November last year and published yesterday

only 6% of EU27 citizens hold a very positive image of the EU

only 41% said their image of the EU is fairly positive

only 34% believe the EU is going in the right direction

This was even before the EU’s coronavirus vaccine rollout shambles, which is expected to show a much higher loss of confidence in the EC and EU. So if EU citizens don't like the EU why on earth would UK citizens, especially in the light of the EU's underhand and vicious treatment of the UK post Brexit? Since January there has been a massive drop in the purchase of EU produced goods in this country and those who continue to buy them should be ashamed of themselves.

why put european im ENGLISH and proud to be ENGLISH
 
I was European before we went into the Common Market / EU and I am still European after leaving the EU. You don't need the EU to be European and the UK will always be part of Europe. Proud to be British and European
 
Can you identify on there as a Blue banana carrying a surfboard while drinking a beer ? Wheres my rights 😂

The census doesn't request depth of feeling, just factual information. For instance, I haven't got the form yet but if two options are allowed I will put European and British. I was born in England to British Parents and I have lived my life in Europe.

If you were born in Britain to British Parents and you live in Britain you're British.

It does, unless as cat says you show your nationality as 'other', in which case you can add European, but then that would be both inaccurate and denying you are British.

*Groan* Being European is no denial of being British. Being British is no denial of being English, Scots or Welsh. In Northern Ireland, putting Irish is not a denial of being part of the UK.
An educated year 7 pupil could explain that.

Well I hope one day you'll achieve that standard.
