The People of Ireland Should Boycott Census

Commentary

The people of Ireland should consider a Boycott in relation the upcoming Census in April 2011.
The reason I say this is that the company contracted to carry out the Census is CACI UK who are a subsidiary of CACI international which through its various outsourcing has been accused of contributing to the torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib in Iraq, something I myself am not happy about, and it will be one of the reason’s why I will not be completing the Census form this time.

Apart from this being a major reason for non – compliance, the people of Ireland could also make it a vehicle of further protest against the past governments actions and the current governments U-turn on pre-election promises made by Enda Kenny and Eamon Gilmore, and the fact that they seem to want to continue down the same path of harsh measures as their predecessors.

The completing of this Census could be used as a measure of how blindfully compliant the people of Ireland still are, and that no matter what injustice is heaped upon them, such as cuts, tax increase’s, bail outs, etc, that the ordinary people of Ireland are still afraid of standing their ground, and more frighteningly, the government knowing this is the case.
