Diversity: Gardener's Question Time

Both The Sun - 'Allotment Grower's Fury Over Sex Quiz' - the Daily Star - Veggie Fans Get Gay Quiz - and the Daily Mail - 'Residents applying for council allotments asked: 'Are you gay?'' - are all fuming over the same non-story today.
"Fruit and vegetable growers are protesting over a council survey which asks if they are gay," reports the Mail.
"The questionnaire is put to residents when they apply for one of the 18 allotments available in Lincoln. The city council wants to know their sexual orientation, race and religion."
Both papers quote rent-a-quote, Fiona McEvoy from Taxpayers' Association.
She said; "It is local authority nonsense at its worst."
Which makes a change from "It's polical correctness gone mad."
It's a classic non-story; councils have been obliged to monitor take-up of their services by various communities - by including voluntary questions on forms - since The Equality Act (2006) and The Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations (2007).
Daily Mail reader John Ballard, a nutcase from Nottingham comments; "No doubt if they are gay, they'll get preferential treatment, as they belong to an "oppressed" (yeah, right!) minority."
