Tommy Robinson

That’s irrelevant.

If you break anti discrimination law by refusing service to someone in a specified category just because they are part of that category then you have no defence.

You might not be prosecuted, but simply warned, but deliberately repeating it would not be sensible.
Wisbech, you are skiing miles off-piste again.

the thread is about Tommy Robinson. "deliberately repeating" indeed.
 
The point is that the decision was theirs to make and not yours or mine or whether it was sensible. In fact it proved a PR disaster they undoubtedly now regret.
Staff felt uncomfortable serving them ie they didn’t like who it was ( can be no other reason as they were doing no wrong) therefore it would appear they acted illegally, that was my point and a point covered in the link I posted. PR disaster, hopefully yes. Outrageous possible illegal action, yes. No other reason than it was TR. I’m not sure I have stated it was anyone decision other than the restaurants.

The question is whether being a restaurant allows them to be discriminatory, other than in circumstances which are protected?

I believe pubs and restaurants are private, not public spaces, much like our own homes. So different rules apply.

If that’s true then just not liking Yaxley-Lennon would be enough, whereas throwing him out because he is gay, or disabled would be illegal.
