the Bernera cafe/dog/legal aid saga - wtf?

American woman living in Bernera is suing the local community run cafe because it would not admit her "emotional support" dog. She is being supported by the Ethnic Minorities Law Centre because Americans are ethnic minorities, and is being funded by Legal Aid. She wants £10k, which would shut them down.

I mean. What the actual fuck. Move to a tiny island with 250 people on it, claim you're being ostracised and harrassed and try to solve that by suing a charity? That'll sort it. And LEGAL FUCKING AID???

Even more now! Lovely to see so many people stepping in to help the whole community on Bernera - greatbernera.org/save-our-community-centre/

£200,000! That’s amazing. I hope that Clare is aware and the cafe’s legal costs are a small fraction of that amount.

Yes !

What a Chancer…

200,000 will hopefully cover everything and leave enough for the community to do something useful with the rest. For an island with such a small population it must be lovely to know 13,000 people are on their side
