craigkillie Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I've been refused entry to a pub because I was wearing jeans so obviously businesses can apply arbitrary rules to what they will accept and not accept. At what point does discrimination legislation trump this? Taking it to extremes, if I turned up to that same pub in a dress (I'm male) and was refused entry because of what I'm wearing presumably I would have recourse to the law but not if I was wearing jeans. Having a ban on jeans would just be part of a dress code, which isn't discriminatory against anyone. If jeans and dresses were banned then there would be nothing wrong in either case. However, if you were refused entry for wearing jeans or a dress, but a woman wearing either of those things was allowed entry, then you might have a case for sexual discrimination.

Believe The Hype Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Isn't it just the case that they have refused to be responsible for making something that supports something that is not legal in their country regardless of who was asking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that's what it is. The bakers weren't bigots, they were just fastidious about enforcing the law. Ya fucking c**t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought when reading the link. I've never been to The Emerald isle. I always imagine going there would be like walking into a costume drama.

Or a burka which the women arguably can't take off on religious grounds whereas most other girls have no reason not to adhere to the dress code. Not that they'd be anywhere near a pub in the first place mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Two different states in EU and UN terms. Stormont pre-72 had its faults but I don't think there is any danger of finding the remains of 800 children in a sceptic tank as a consequence of what happened in that era in NI.

LongTimeLurker Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The mortality rate of roughly one child per fortnight is what is at the core of the scandal and why would the other 776 not have been buried in the plot and if they weren't where are their bodies? Sounds like spin to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 "Man facing prison for nose biting A former Irish soldier, who admitting biting a 35-year-old Algerian man's nose last year, has been told by a judge he will be going to jail. Barry Fitzgerald, 25, of Doire House in Carrigans, County Donegal, pleaded guilty to the attack on his victim in Waterloo Street in Londonderry. As part of his bail conditions he was banned from entering the city. The restrictions, however, were relaxed at Londonderry Crown Court on Tuesday to allow him to go to a job interview."

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Of course they're separate events. That's kind of the nature of a comparison. I saw a list, and a pathetic attempt to smear Ireland, both north and south, not a comparison. Essentially the same country as well tbf. In the same way that Scotland is the same country as England? Essentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
