There is no consternation on here from Gransnetters about how many ethnic minority groups who wish or do not wish to visit The Lake District, the subject was raised by Richard Leafe, who is the national park’s chief executive. Gransnetters are simply responding to his consternation. He feels that not enough ethnic minority people visit The Lake District, and Gransnetters are offering a variety of reasons as to why that may be the case. Perhaps SirChenjin, you could elaborate on why this may be the case, rather than making disparaging remarks about other Gransnetters. Of course no one will be forced to visit The Lake District, but why do some groups choose not to visit, and what, if anything, could be done about it. The answer may well be nothing can be done about it.
Are we worried that not enough middle class ladies, of any ethnicity, choose to not visit football matches? Or that all types of people choose to not visit Convent Garden to see the opera? Or that some people choose to holiday in Torremolinos or Ayia Napa, whilst others choose The French Alps or Florence?
The whole thing is ridiculous, that’s why people are commenting that other people cannot be forced to visit The Lake District. Nobody can be forced to visit, or to like, anything, however worthy others may think it is.
