Carlsberg would still be a rip off at 18p a pint

Stella would be at 1.8p.


Bad beer memories coming back. Can't believe I paid for such sh1te for so many years. Ale ignorance.

It's horrible, vile stuff. If I was offered a beer and that arrived, I'd apologise and say no thanks.


Haven't touched the fizzy chemical laden watery p1ss for over 15 years now I am very much glad to say. Brewed in Leicester/Solihull/Warrinton under license is always a dead giveaway and gets the alarm bells ringing.

Carlsberg EXPORT - made in the fvcking Midlands

LOL the previous year the gaff got ripped up so you can't blame them.

It's the landlord's discretion IMO.

However, considering the Irish bakery just got busted for refusing to make a gay cake it shows that one cannot exclude anybody based on their make up.


how can a cake be gay?

Surely a landlord has the right to ban anyone he likes. He can make up any excuse he wants.

People don't discriminate against travelers because of their race. Not that they have a definitive one.

Commercial law, a business must provide services in line with UK law on discrimination. You can't refuse paid services or goods to people on the basis of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation.

Quite right too.

The Irish Bakery didn't just get busted, they lost their appeal, again.

It is highly amusing that the courts uphold someone's right to call for gay marriage, a concept not recognised or legal in Northern Ireland. The bakery owners are prosecuted, not for denying a service on the basis of sexual orientation, but on the grounds that they did not want to promote an illegal concept. Does this 'judgement' mean that bakeries must allow any message on a cake, 'legalise pedophilia' for example, or 'blow up Stormont'?

Yes, but if he says 'we don't serve gypsies in here' then he's in trouble.

Its not an illegal concept. Gay marriage isn't permitted in NI, but its not illegal either (if you are married elsewhere, and return to NI you are still married). They're also in violation of laws regarding commercial practice, which take priority in the governance of businesses. NI also permits the Same Sex Partnership under the civil union laws. The gay marriage acts are to ratify certain rights that could be technically excluded under civil unions due to wording in contracts such as pensions.

The claim is civil, not criminal.

Unfortunately, the social media is awash with very biased commentary on this - "quite right, fancy refusing to serve someone because he's gay" type of stuff, which is clearly NOT what happened here. The bakery had no problem with serving gay customers, just with producing a cake calling for people to back something they, themselves do not believe in (quite different in my book).

A petty example, but would you feel OK about refusing to bake a cake with "Brighton forever" on it?

A less petty example, if you were a muslim baker, would you feel obliged to produce a cake with the image of the prophet on it? It's not illegal, but something you personally feel flies in the face of your religious beliefs

If I was following the England football team abroad and saw a sign on a bar which said "We don't serve England supporters in here", personally I wouldn't be offended and would assume that the owner took such a stance merely to protect his property and not out of any hatred towards the English.

Just for your info. same-sex 'marriage' is a devolved issue and Northern Ireland does not permit it. Same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions are treated as civil partnerships. The Northern Ireland Executive has stated that it does not intend to introduce legislation allowing for same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland

Then they probably shouldn't have accepted the order. Your personal or religious beliefs however do not trump Commercial Laws and Business law in the UK, which requires fair service to citizens from all businesses (and fairness of service includes to all groups identified in the equal opportunities act).

You could refuse to promote political promotions, but in doing so you must be consistent, non-discriminatory and upfront.

A business is not the sole authority of its owners, it has obligations to state and the public.
