I recently came across this issue via a Facebook group.
Apparently, in 21 London Boroughs the Police say they need information on the performers (including their ethnicity) and the style of music of an event, so they can pinpoint which acts and venues attract troublemakers, and make sure venues are safe.
It sounds draconian and hyper-bureaucratic to me so Ive signed the The Number 10 petition against it.
More info – independent article, the Register.
The form itself.

WHAT?!?! Sign that petition NOW!!!!!
I’m signing that mother RIGHT NOW. Really, really hate those ethnicity questions on forms too. Liking the music very much by the way.
