Tommy Robinson asked to leave a restaurant because staff felt uncomfortable serving him…

… AIBU to enjoy this?!

If you spout objectionable views, don’t be surprised if people object to you!

😂who needs comedy when you've got AIBU? 😂

Nah you sound like a secret fan. If I don’t like someone I just keep swiping, no interest in what they are upto. But you go out of your way to snoop and proper dig.

That remains to be seen doesn't it. Pretty sure they won't rob old or disabled people though.

😆 🤣 😂

You're easily amused, which is nice.

There’s far worse than him out there. Get your head out the sand.

I think you are confusing me with someone else. I’ve never claimed to have read all his court records. A general awareness of what they will say is enough t9 make a judgement. Alongside his guilty plea, obvs.

You don’t need to “dig” if you read newspapers and social media.

Yes.

Most of them are.

That's not a parallel though. Robinson is very much responsible for the harmful things he has said - for example, nearly derailing the trial of sex abusers to use it as grandstanding for racism and xenophobia. Words like that have consequences, and that may include people not wanting to deal with him in various ways.

Jews are not responsible for the reprehensible actions of Israel and people perceiving that to be the case are plain wrong.

Well they weren't, which is their right.

Utter nonsense.
It’s really very, very common knowledge.
Your ‘fan’ accusation makes no sense when I’m saying he’s vile and you are saying he’s a lovely bloke with mainly black and Asian friends.

A lot of you are really showing your colours on waiting staff, aren't you.

You think?
I think they’ll rob everyone to enrich themselves.

Correction: Jewish people are not deserving of the violent discrimination they are being subjected to.

There may be. That doesn’t make him pleasant though, does it? I mean, do we reserve judgement for serial killers or what?

That would be called speculation.

We don't need to speculate over what a robbing cunt Kier is though do we, that is happening in real time.

You speculated first

😆 🤣 😂

No im saying he’s not a racist. Because you want to live in a safe country and aren’t afraid to say that, does not make you racist. I know for a fact he’s friends are black and Asian. But you dont.

My point was that if those people are known troublemakers and they have a protected characteristic, what then? You might be able to exlude them after they've done something wrong, but you wouldn't be able to exclude them purely because of a fear that they might be a problem, even if experience tells you that they will be. Not because they are Travellers per se, and not because you are a racist per se, but because they have a reputation for anti-social behaviour that goes before them and something about their demeanor in your presence is making you uncomfortable.

Whereas in TR's case, it seems the restaurant/pub can sling him out based on his reputation alone, and 'feeling uncomfortable' even though he did nothing wrong while there.

If you did that to a specific group of Travellers who you had read/heard bad things about but had not personally experienced any issues at all, you'd almost certainly risk being sued for racial discrimination.

I do know what a protected characteristic is. And yes, some people do have them, some people don't, so I am not sure what you are driving at there.

But your speculation was more extreme than my speculation. Said in annoying childish voice for full effect.

He’s a racist.
