This is just stupid, operators of licenced premises have a specific duty in the terms of their licence to manage their businesses in a safe and trouble free manner. if you have ever been in a pub that gets visited by "travellers" ( which aren't an ethnic or racial group anyway) you would very soon understand why barring them outright immediately is a good idea.

Ridiculous decision.

[Halibut]

Ridiculous decision.

 

Entirely correct decision.

 

In the judgement, Judge Hand QC said the thinking of the then manager of the pub was "suffused with the stereotypical assumption that Irish Travellers and English Gypsies cause disorder wherever they go".

The judge added: "In my judgment this is racial stereotyping of those with that ethnic origin.

"It can be reduced to this crude proposition: whenever Irish Travellers and English Gypsies go to public houses, violent disorder is inevitable because that is how they behave".

 

He could almost be talking about you.

A genetics expert from the University of Edinburgh disagrees with your assumption that they are not an ethnic or racial group.

 

Apparently DNA tests have proven that they are in fact different from the 'settled community'.

That however is not the point here, the landlord made a decision based purely on prejudice and without any of the people he refused to serve having committed any actions to deserve being singled out for the treatment.

 

Did you read the OPs link?

 

In addition to travelers the group who were refused service included a police inspector a barrister and a priest.

 

Asking someone to leave who is causing trouble or refusing someone entry who has done so in the past is perfectly reasonable but deciding not to serve people because you disagree with their lifestyle isn't.

 

Obviously, that does not apply to football supporters who can be discriminated against, herded like cattle and refused entry to pubs or stadiums purely on a whim.

What happened to "ROAR"?

[Guest sibon]

What happened to "ROAR"?

 

Or those lovely signs that we used to see in pub windows in the 1970s.

 

"No Gyppoes or blacks". That was a catchy phrase.

 

How about reintroducing that one?

 

You really are a nob.

But if Sheffield Forum exercised that right with you no doubt you'd be raging about censorship and the right to free speech.
