I thought this migth be urban legend material. Nope. Just more ENGSOC.

The form demands that licensees give police a mass of detail, including the names, aliases, private addresses and phone numbers of all musicians and other performers appearing at their venue, and the ethnic background of the likely audience.

Anti-terror bureaucratism. ENGSOC.
