Jon 'The Reverend' McClure has set up a petition over at
number10.gov.uk, the official website of the Prime Minister's Office,
protesting the use of Form 696, an ugly piece of paper that basically
stops people like Big Narstie putting on gigs.
Mcclure calls the form "racial discrimination", which it is, since it
is used for "risk assessment of gigs", asking for details of the
ethnicity of music fans set to attend events, plus the style of music
that will be played. Hence Big Narstie's raves getting raided and shut
down before they open, and that sort of thing.
Even born-again Neo Labour stooge / head of music industry
representation umbrella group UK Music Feargal Sharkey doesn't get down
with the thing. he reported the use of the form to the Equality and
Human Rights Commission, and has called for a judicial review into its
use.
The petition is over at Petitions.number10.gov.uk/scrapthe696.
