Well said Chris Grayling

[public school boy]

Anybody who runs a B&B should be able to choose who stays whether on religous or personal belieif. If a person/couple is turned away it's the owner of the B&B who loses out financially. Is it surprising that Lord Mandelson is trying to make a who ha about what Mr Grayling is reported to have said? Would Mandelson have said anything if an unmarried Hetrosexual couple had been denied a room in a B&B ?

Why is it loose though?

Anybody who runs a B&B still has to follow the rule of law. The Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2007 clearly states that no one should be refused goods and services on the grounds of their sexuality.

You don't get to be above the law just because you've set up a B&B business!

This is a bollocks arguement really that will have the Activists and no doubt NSC having kittens. What he said is true. Respect a homeowners religious beliefs if the case may be

The point is that they are not just home owners - they are offering a public service and therefore are bound by the laws of the land.

You can discriminate to your heart's content, against anyone on any grounds, right up until the point where you charge money.

You take the King's shilling, you fight the King's war.

It should be down to the owner who stays not some little man in Whitehall

He should move to Australia, where no poofters means no poofters.

If the owners don't want the risk of having 'undesirables' as customers, then don't open a B&B. Simples.

There are some laws which could reasonably argued against, but this one is not one of those.

Not stritly true, you don't have to be homophobic to not like the sound of 2 men have bum sex all night. Now we all know they are more promiscious than average due to the fact it's 2 men and men always want it. So , based on that then yeah turn them away if you want. Your house , do what you want

What about if they just agree to wank each other off?

I am not disputing the fact that maybe people would be uncomfortable with gay men having sex in their home, but if that is the case then don't open your home to paying customers. It's fairly simple.

Once you let your home become a place of business, then you do relinquish the right to do what you want in it.

Yeah but you don't, its your home and you have the right to choose how to make an honest buck.

Its not blatant discrimination , just upholding religious beliefs that have existed in mankind for ever

Only if a posh wank would this be acceptable

 

[Brian Fantana]

And if you choose to make an honest buck by renting out rooms in your home, then you have to abide by the laws governing the industry and the country.

on a point of law.. when a shop keeper displays an item for sale he or she is not obliged to sell that item to someone they do not wish to as it is only deemed as an invitation to treat, so if a B&B owner is displaying a room for £50 per night this is only an Invitation to treat. Please explain the difference

Maybe public schoolboy could tell us what a posh wanker looks like?
