is it a claim of "right" or a protest?

Dose society (aka the government) have the "right" to demand that any "free" human being complete forms and give detailed personal private information to the state. The fact that the firm contracted to the state to gather the information may be engaged in aiding and abetting genocide is irrelevant. I wander if Sarah Ledsom believes that the state has the right to make the demands of her in the first place?

"[C]onscience will not allow me to complete the form and so collude with the war industry.

"My conscience will not, cannot condone what is happening to the good people of Palestine, innocent men, women and children being murdered by arms provided by Lockheed Martin to Israel. The very same Lockheed Martin who were given the contract to oversee the census 2011. On Thursday 8th of December I will be pleading not guilty as I will not be part of the collusion against Palestine. I will refuse to pay any fine and am more than prepared to go to prison. This is not about me; this is about the corruption and collusion going on between the UK/US/Israel against the innocent Palestinians and I am standing against it. Will you stand with me and all census resisters?"

I would certainly disagree with any idea that genocide is not important. If anyone was engaging in genocide then I would at the very least want to disagree with it and not want to co-operate with any companies involved in that.

I believe that the UK/US/Israel colluded with Lockheed Martin, in as much as they bought arms from them, which were then used against innocent civilians, in not just Palestine but in all war zones throughout the world. They have all aided and abetted the systematic killing, maiming and traumatising of innocent people full stop. Therefore, I cannot and will not, be part of that aiding and abetting by completing a census form, when that information is being used by Lockheed Martin. I have that choice, and my conscience is absolutely clear that I am not guilty. Whether the so called powers that be find me guilty, is neither here nor there, as I know, I have done nothing wrong, I have harmed no one, end of. We may not all be freemen and women in the Lawful Rebellion sense, but we do have free will. We can only hope to see them been brought to justice and in time, I know they will.
