More idiocy on the Scottish census

That link leads to an article about BJ possibly facing a new confidence vote, nt anything to do with the census.

Not for me. It leads to a census article. Apologies but not sure how to fix that for you.

Actually, it leads to the front page of the Times for me that just happens to have Boris's situation as the headline. I think it's a redirect for non-subscribers.

That works - thanks. The Scottish census seems to have been a fiasco in all sorts of ways.

So in summary, a fictional game involving broomsticks created by JKR is going to be renamed by some sad people who run about with bits of wood between their legs because they are hurt by her stance on the issue of women's rights.

I bet she's devastated.

Twats.

It will be the death of the sport. I'm sure the majority of people who play it do so because of its association with Quidditch.

The picture below is from a university's online pre course registration form. It incorrectly states they have a duty to collect gender identity information under the 2010 Equality Act, and is I think in breach of GDPR rules.

Looks like something for a lawyer to investigate.

Do you know which part of Equality Act deals with monitoring information? The university, likely, has to collect statistics but that does not mean that any student has to provide the information requested. To demand that it is provided may be illegal.

It seems to be a tweet? But by whom? Regarding which university?

On the ask your age thread, PD asserted that you need not answer any of the questions in the equality questionnaire.

There is no such thing as gender identity in the Equality Act so information gathering is irrelevant.

Yes, it is a tweet but the person who posted it is a friend who is concerned about revealing details of their child in case there is any fall out.

And I think it falls foul of that as well.
