Supermarkets & mask wearing

[The AuldYin]

Absolute pish. Any business can refuse to serve anyone they want as long as they box clever on their reason for doing so. There's no law in this land that can force any business into selling their product to someone they don't want to sell it to. There's certain people I would never do business with and no law can force me to.

No such thing as islamaphobia.

Lots of publications disagree.

What race has this hairdresser discriminated against?

From the billy who thinks people wanting their own government in Scotland are anti-English racists

What race are English people

A phobia is an irrational fear.

So islamaphobia is no more relevalent than gingerphobia, irishphobia, dabaphobia, etc etc etc.....all made up words.

You have people who don't think what scientologists believe is correct.....is that scientologistaphobia? and possibly vudoo isnae really that a rational belief is that vudooaphobia....people want to grow up and accept people do not share their beliefs in some immortal sky fairy who either created the world in 7 days, impregnated virgin woman, flew Doon to earth on a space ship or has promised you 100 virgins if you kill the infidel.

People want to indulge this guff crack on.....It's not a phobia it's islamarational, christianarational or scien****ingtologyarational.

Believe in what you want just don't accept me to go along with it.

Dosent alter the fact hairdresser was wrong and could have used a multitude of other reasons for not giving her the job.

There may not be a law but the point is a lawyer for the plaintiff will find a way to make it into a case and you the defendant is faced with using your insurance policy to contest the claim . Without a shadow of doubt they will want to settle as it will be many times cheaper, even if they win the case because the plaintiff will not be made to pay all costs.

I have turned down plenty of business and never been sued, I have also never once heard of a shop or any business being successfully sued for refusing to either serve or refusing entry to someone, not one. There has been cases of hotels and B&B's being sued for refusing to take poofs and I think a cake shop refused to make a wedding cake for poofs once and got sued. As I say just box clever and don't give a reason just don't let them in, a business has legal rights too.

I think the burden of proof that they haven't discriminated is beginning to fall on business owners.

That again is wrong

Using the language you have shows me what you are.

The discussion isn't about refusing custom, it's about an allegation that someone was discriminated against in the search for employment simply because she wore a head covering. The prospective employer was challenged and made an arse of her reasons for not employing the person. She was an idiot.

I once spoke to a HR Manager who told me he would never have allowed a particular person to be employed if he'd known he was gay. That person was as camp as Christmas and clearly gay to me and every other sensible person in the world, he did his job, was good at it and we didn't give a **** what he was. That guy was the right person for the job, better than all the other applicants but the business had the 'right' ultimately to refuse him employment simply because he was gay? Any idea what year this is you ****ing dinosaur?

You sound just like that HR Manager and I feel it's my duty to call you out on it.

For the record I'm not gay, I just have a brain and choose to use it to think.

Take a deep breath go back and check the thread title and the OP. I said a company were sued because they refused to make a wedding cake for poofs ( I think they were Christians), that neither proves or disproves whether I would employ one or not. In fact it matters not a jot whether I would or not, if other employers feel they don't want to that's entirely up to them. The state cannot force you to employ poofs any more than it can enforce you to employ non poofs. There is no law that says you have to allow anybody into your premises masks or no masks gay or not gay.



Ya poof.
