Subject: RE: UK Minister insults folkmusic: complain!
One more point - and it's a separate one which is why I make it in a separate post.

Legislation which allows people to make music on licensed premises, or at least provides a mechanism by which this can be legal, but excludes it on non-licensed premises surely discriminates against people from non alcohol drinking cultures. In particular it discriminates against Muslims.

Can this be legal?

Seriously, I think this is a point that needs to be brought home to the politicians who make a pretence about caring about such things. (Exception for David Heath, who does appear actually to care about them.)
