Commuters weigh in on controversial Labour law that would ban smoking from public areas such as pub gardens and outside clubs. Commuters were torn, with some saying it would harm businesses and infringe on freedoms, while other lauded the move.
Does your pub have a strict rule? E-mail: [email protected] Great British pub, a time honoured equalizer where those of every class sip expensive lager and mingle together.
So, as the Labour government looks to ban smoking from beer gardens under the pretext of solving lung cancer, MailOnline examines some of the most outrageous and pointless rules paralysing pubs near you. Nightclub smoking areas, restaurant terraces and even shisha bars could all have their right to light up axed in shock new plans by Keir Starmer's Labour government.
Defending the unpopular policy, the Prime Minister argued that 'over 80,000 people lose their lives every year because of smoking' which is a 'preventable death'. She said: 'It is deeply concerning and difficult to understand why the Government would bring forward proposals that will be yet another blow to the viability of our nation's vital community assets.
Users on X, formerly Twitter, reacted with fury to the post- which was seen by more than 70 million people - with one person comparing the ban on children to 'pro-extinction culture'. After the sign attracted a huge amount of hate online on Sunday, it was still outside the pub on Tuesday 'I don't have a problem with dogs in pubs. If dogs are being a problem, they can easily be brought under control. A pub is not a place for children.'
No Prime Ministers !One of the country's newest landlords, Jeremy Clarkson, can perhaps lay claim to owning Britain's most popular public house. Some even called for training for 'technophobes' who have been left behind in the ever-developing cashless world - which has 'caught out' pub visitors. In 2018, the Dorset Inn in Lewes, East Sussex sparked outrage after a sign was placed on the door banning vegans and saboteurs for the day due to the Christmas hunt.
A spokesman for the brewery said at the time: 'Following the comments generated by inaccurate, insensitive and inappropriate poster, the company would like to issue a formal apology for any confusion, offence or upset it may have caused. The pub's policy went down like a pint of cold sick with some locals who accused them of 'demonising' the demographic.'I assume this means tradies aren't allowed in in their workwear , but estate agents, opticians, bank workers, solicitors etc will be fine due to the nature of their workwear?
Bosses will legally have to take 'all reasonable steps' to prevent harassment by third parties relating to protected characteristics, including sex, gender reassignment or age. The Worker Protection Act is due to take effect on 26 October and will place a duty on firms to take 'reasonable steps' to prevent sexual harassment of their employees.
Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UKHospitality, told The Telegraph 'there are jokes and people are boisterous' in pubs because it is a 'social environment'. Army veteran Kevin Moran, 84, says he takes no nonsense when it comes to people chatting on their mobiles at the independent Nag's Head pub in Belgravia.
