And how would the Shopkeeper know they are genuinely disabled? You see the issue?. 2 weeks tomorrow this madness all ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would constitute discrimination if the customer was genuinely exempt. There are plenty of other, legal, reasons to ask someone to leave though.

Some shopkeepers seem to be facing lots of non- mask wearers who use the excuse of a disability they do not have. I am wondering whether excluding a bunch of idiots is sufficient excuse to risk excluding the occasional disabled individual. Do you know the law on this? Yes - the Shopkeeper could then be prosecuted by a disabled person for using someones disability as a reason for refusing to serve. Its no different to a taxi driver refusing to carry a blind passenger with a guide dog because he doesnt like dogs. I believe this happened in recent history.

In the case we are discussing, The Daddy is a non-exempt mask refuser. So perhaps he’s contributed a bit towards his own problem. Not that any of that makes discrimination acceptable.

top4718 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Good to see the new health secretary seems to be all for ending this mask nonsense, lets hope he's true to his word. The Covid cult better start digging their safety bunkers in the back garden. Just an aside on masks, no mask (even the health service approved FFP3's) work when worn by people with a good amount of facial hair so we can probably blame men with beards for the rise in cases 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to burst your bubble but you'll notice I said my daughter was having the problem in morrisons and not me. I was wearing a mask you see. Sorry again to rain on your parade and ill be sure to not pass on your remarks to my daughter. She already knows what discrimination is like, she dosent need another dose of it.

She already knows what discrimination is like, she dosent need another dose of it. Just read what I wrote again. I didn’t say that you weren’t wearing a mask. I said that you don’t wear one and that people who don’t wear them, but aren’t exempt make life difficult for shop workers. By extension, that sometimes means that people like your daughter get treated less than properly. I don’t think that is right, btw, but it is understandable. Go on. Read my posts again. I’m pretty confident that I wasn’t being offensive. Just offering a reasoned opinion. Edited July 4, 2021 by sibon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxLady Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I've always thought that a (say) a publican can refuse to serve me if he so choses, and doesn't have to profer a reason? No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
