You. Stop that. Common Sense is not encouraged.
The clue is in the name, AirBnB - what does that abbreviation mean I wonder?
Sorry, I was busy doing something more important. Never mind. Nose picked now. What were you saying while you were talking down to me?
Your abode becomes a bnb once you accept lodgers for payment. Doesn't matter if you do it on the sly like a lot of airbnb hosts are doing, and when you take payment when offering a service you are bound by the Equality Act 2010, more specefically Part 3 of Services and Public Functions. So yes - this is not a private ruling, you can get into serious trouble if you refuse service that constitues discrimination but knowing racists they would be far too cowardly to say that and rather say it's booked/whatever falsehood they feel like coming up with.
How's that cowardice? Surely it's common sense? Lol.
They go hand-in-hand.
I'll have to remember that the next time I take someone in, I'm subject to the groupthink, nanny state laws of the UK gov. Thank you for addressing my errant free though. I shall endeavour to conform and dye my hair blue in the future.
Do whatever you like, sunshine. Be the free spirit you were born to be!
Except I'm not really, thanks to you lot am I?
You mean you have to be more overt in your racist ways? Is that too mentally taxing for you? Read through scorza and phil675's post history in relation to anything non-white british, they're pretty damn fantastic at it.
No, if you're taking payment for having someone stay you're required to follow the same basic rules (some would say of decency and courtesy) that any business would have to follow.
It shouldn't do, but it still surprises me how many people don't seem to realise that once you start to take payment for providing goods and services to stranger that you suddenly start to have to abide by the laws and obligations that come with that.
If you don't want to abide by those laws you don't offer to provide the services that require you to.
As Aleksandr would say "Simples"
Quite the contrary - I'm usually pretty up front about my prejudices.
Please don't do the simples thing again, it's a pet hate.
And...I would agree. Once you take payment for a service, I think you're obligated unless there's a very good reason to provide that service - I'm talking about point blank refusing at the door, and the double standards that are implied here - I have no doubt in my mind that while AirBNB would have no problem admonishing a christian couple for refusing to accept a booking from a gay couple, you'd hear jack **** about a muslim couple doing the same. Or a gay couple refusing to accept a straight person out of some manner of fear of persecution.
REALLY THIS
The amount of right wing racists on this forum has increased a lot recently, they always say they are not..........then say 'but' - then say something completely absurd.
They are so very programmed by what they read in extreme right wing news papers, they genuinely see a difference between one human, or another purely based on their skin colour, or where their from - as if they feel superior being a white british person
Cut it out *SOME* members of OCUK - if you want to post right wing fascist comments, go join a UKIP or KKK forum.
And no, I'm not going 'OTT', the standard of human from SOME posters is horrendously low, the complete ignorance, self delusional comments is beyond me.
It's literally fact that either British / western planes basically bomb the hell out of non western countries, the innocents getting killed want to come here? Damn right they should - our government created the problem - damn right I support innocent humans wanting to get away from the **** show that our western world creates.
Those that simply comment 'yeah but they just comin ere for more money innit' ............ WOW, any of those posters taking benefits anyway ? Why do people have a right to benefits ? Doesn't matter where you were born.......... WERE ALL HUMAN, WERE ALL FROM THE SAME PLANET.
We have obscene wealth in the west, if I was in charge id tax everyone, especially OCUK forum posters so they couldn't get their next ipad - IF IT MEANT everyone in the world could be fed and watered.
Oh guess what, its theoretically possible with great ease to feed and house everyone on the planet - just the west doesn't want to, shame on us.
lol...And there you have it ladies and gents. An SJW...Naked before the world, revealed for the fascists that the entire movement is full of.
How do you expect to have a discussion about a hypothetical that you've imagined?
Because it isn't hypothetical. We've seen issues being dismissed in society right now based upon issues of gender, race or sexuality.
