It's there to guard against unintentional discrimination. How do you know you are not discriminating if you don't know the applicant's ethnic group? I never answer that kind of question on principle. None of their business and also facilitiates illegal positive discrimination and discrimination against white people. I didn't like racial classification as formerly used in South Africa and I don't like it here. and what the applicant intends to grow on the allotment. Could be relevant .... suppose I intended to use my allotment to carry out breeding experiments on thistles? ;-) Wouldn't be any worse than the Council's own current experiments in breeding elderberry, brambles, nettles, couch grass, etc. on the derelict allotment sites. Possibly unconnected, or perhaps not, there are several allotment sites around the town completely unused and badly overgrown. |
