Scunnered by census

Many people are scunnered with the 2022 census because of the questions it asked.

The vast majority of the Scottish population don’t speak Gaelic so they would have to tick the box marked ‘no skills in Gaelic’. Why not ask about ‘skills’ in other languages, too?

‘What do you feel is your national identity?’ is another question included to placate nationalists. Here the choice for the majority is between ‘Scottish’ and ‘Other British’. So you cannot be both British and Scottish at the same time, according to the SnP government.

I wonder if the census information will be used by the 11 Scottish civil servants who have been instructed to prepare the ground for an illegal independence referendum to be held next year according to First Minister nicola Sturgeon.

The annual salary total for this group of worthies is £700,000. WilliaM loneskie, lauder,
