    I bet it cost us lots. In favour of gay rights generally but as have said before there should be lower boundaries, in private houses or very small owner run businesses, where such public policy laws should not apply. Everyone should be entitled to control their personal space whatever their reasons.
    So a B&B with a sign saying "No blacks, no dogs, no Irish" would be fine then

        How about polygamists? Surely it's discrimination to only provide single and double beds, and treble beds, quadruple beds, quintuple beds and so on should be provided!

          They're going to burn in hell along with the muslims, homosexuals and HMRC employees.

          The above was tongue in cheek but if you HMRC boys(and Girls) really have a problem with it then you know where I live.

          Btw, when I say "girls" in relation to the HMRC I do of course refer to the frustrated bitches on heat that frequent a certain pub in Manchester. Wilmslow, ask me nicely and I'll give you the name of the pub.

            It didn't cost "Us" a penny. It was a civil case brought by the couple involved, not a criminal case bought by the Crown.

            Costs would have been paid by either side initially with the losers footing the final legal bills. This included court costs.

            The B&B owners were ordered to pay £1800 in damages to the couple, they were not fined.

              Dave, don't let facts get in the way of some good old gay and god botherer bashing.

                What about no black Irish dogs.

                  When you say "Black Irish", do you actually mean "Black, Irish"?
