JD Vance not allowed in English Pub After Staff Mutiny

You could simply say he's unbanned once the diplomat's wife goes to trial that ran over that kid... that would make a political statement.

Meh, assuming the owner gave this the go ahead, it's their pub at the end of the day so it's fine. It's not the only place to eat there. If it was the staff only then they should be fired.

But at least it gives Vance an idea of how divided the UK is politically. Not really something to be proud of.

You would think the Trump administration would do a little bit of research before visiting these places.

Funniest thing said in this thread so far.

He's not even banned. The staff had a wobble. I am sure that he had an equally nice meal elsewhere that day.

I'd imagine you would be calling the bluff of the majority of the staff and agency in the rest for the short term.
odds are only the real trouble makers leave

Good thing you don't run a business, sacking everyone is a pretty dumb idea. Unless you are Private Equity :D

you really think given the choice to do your job or be fired, all of them are going to give up the job? seriously? most of these people will be reliant on wages to pay their bills for a start.

principle generally disappear pretty fast when people have something personal on the line..

next it will be someone else no doubt if you let them dictate who your customers are.

when do the paying guests have to declare their social media identities and get vetted?



all their stupid stunt does is show how far free speech has fallen in the UK and how retarded identity politics and choosing sides is...
like being surrounded by people with playground mentality of 5 year old kids.

oh he likes blue so he can';t play with us, only people who like red are allowed. it's pathetic childish nonsense.

we'd have a one party country if they had their way

are you suggesting JD vance is a serial sex offender?

I'm sure a lot of people did serve jimmy saville btw, are you suggesting they are guilty by that tiny association your clutching at?

It's funny, Clarkson barred Starmer from his pub because of politics and people were loving it. Can guarantee those same people are now saying barring Vance is wrong.

Both are silly in principle and I don't think stuff like that should be normalised in general but there's a fundamental difference there - one is the owner making a decision about his business the other is staff members forcing the owner's hand.

How are you supposed to advocate for change if you can't protest against political figures?
 
this will put the cat amongst the pigeons

"Sleepy Cotswolds village swarmed by TWENTY secret service agents as Kamala Harris attends Steve Jobs’ daughter’s wedding

LOCALS in a sleepy village were stunned when Secret Service agents swarmed a pub to whisk in Kamala Harris for billionaire heiress Eve Jobs’s £100,000 pre-wedding party.

Some 20 men in suits with earpieces manned Cotswolds boozer The Bull for five hours to ensure the former US Vice President was safe."

Lmao, protesting a political figure is pretty much as clear cut of an example of free speech as you can get.

Not really in this case - many forms of protest against a political figure would indeed be clear cut examples of free speech but this isn't one of them, this is a workplace dispute and if it were one individual rather than a bunch of staff the management might well have decided to cancel their shift or indeed sack them and they'd not have any recourse via claiming their freedom of speech rights had been infringed AFAIK.

I'd imagine its only a small minority of bakeries that refuse to make gay cakes.

are they really refusing to do business with these people?

they won't make a gay cake but would they sell them a loaf of bread?

Don't see the big deal with someone not wanting to do something for their beliefs.

can I go to a bakery and sue them if they won't make me a satan cake?

He's not Adolf Hitler & he's democratically elected so part of me doesn't really approve even though I'm no Trump fan.

That said, I loved it when the landlord of The Raven in Bath (once my local) sent Keir Starmer packing over his views on covid restrictions so I think it's a case of what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
 
The story is completely unsubstantiated. The owners have declined to comment, the staff have declined to comment, and Vance’s lot have just said they were not actually planning on going there anyway. There’s nothing to go on here.

No, my understanding is that JD is off round to Tom Skinner's place for a few cold ones and a carry. Bosh❤️

it's not the same as staff trying to force policy or politics via cancel culture seemingly against the business owners wishes and best interests.

if your a self employed tradesman you can pick and choose your customers.
if you work for a company that employs you then your expected to do the work the customer wishes, regardless of whether he has a union jack on the wall or whatever....

I can tell you I would be handing in my notice if my company started to support horrid ideals, not all of us will throw our morals away for cash.

What is your political viewpoint, who do you support and who do dispose and find an abhorrent person/ agenda?

I don't do hate politics, starmers a knob but I'd still not refuse his custom.
I'd probably just strategically place books or some such that make him feel a little uncomfortable and give the media some talking points
