And we've done some work on defining and summarising the issues.
What's the best thing to do next?

I work for an MP.

VERY FEW people get in touch about this.

BE REASONABLE
Be clear
Be specific
Make it personal
Ask specific questions
Do not be fobbed off

Ask for your question to be referred to the minister / shadow minister.

@CharlieParley Can non Scots fill it in? Since it will affect us all we deserve a say.
Otherwise I suppose I can always put the in-laws postcode. Or DD's. She was furious when I filled in the first one on her behalf using her email so I'd better be careful Grin...

What Genetic said we have a new crop of MPs to inform urgently. At some point the government has to respond to the GRA consultation of 2018. They can’t avoid it forever. Time is now to let MPs know what you think.

Can non Scots fill it in?

I'm pretty sure you can. You could the last one.

dementedma · 22/01/2020 08:38

Please count me in. Happy to help.

CharlieParley · 22/01/2020 09:27

Yes, FannyCann, non-Scots can fill it in.

It's open to submission from everywhere in the world and in the analysis, you'll be included under UK numbers.

I emailed my old MP several times. I am fairly sure she was closet GC but we have a new MP who I haven't contacted. I have emailed him this morning. He has made racist comments in the past and is fairly close to Boris Johnson - god only knows what his views will be on this.

Does anyone have a link to the Scottish consultation and I will fill it in.

Does being half Scottish get me extra points? Grin Probably not...

There is another thread about the census. It is worth having a look. The bottom line? Write to your MP. This is supposed to be a majority Conservative govt. If they have been colonised by the lobby? It's imperative to write and clearly state the serious safe guarding issues and the threat to freedom of speech. They are interlinked. Silence is compliance in this environment.

BovaryX · 22/01/2020 12:22

Ten years ago, the idea that a Conservative govt would allow the bizarre linguistic dictates of a niche lobby to dominate and invalidate the results of an official census? Laughable. Yet here we are

It is time to write to our MPs making sure they know and seeking answers. Making sure they can’t say ‘we didn’t know’ when this is finally recognised for being the safeguarding scandal that it is

Count me in x

totalnamechanger · 22/01/2020 18:16

I’ve written to mine. Seeing him this week

NotAtMyAgeStandsWithLangCleg · 22/01/2020 18:16

Placemarking. I'm in too.

WelshMoth · 23/01/2020 06:07

Count me in.

I'd also like a sticky link at the top board which outlines our concerns and lists our questions.

The banning of Lang has chilled me. The deletion/vanishing of posts has chilled me. I want to do more. We all need to ramp up our efforts.
