North London Pub Bars Travellers

The Irish Times is reporting that one of Britain’s largest pub chains is to face investigation for racial discrimination after a group, including a police officer and a priest who had attended an Irish Travellers’ meeting, were refused entry to a north London pub.

The incident occurred last Thursday shortly before 5pm when some of those who had attended an Irish Travellers’ Movement in Britain meeting at offices on Holloway Road went to the JD Wetherspoons-owned Coronet pub a few doors away.

The group, including Cheshire Constabulary’s head of diversity Insp Mark Watson, solicitor Martin Howe and the group’s chairman, Fr Joe Brown, along with a number of Travellers, were blocked by doormen.

Mr Howe, who is to issue legal proceedings against JD Wetherspoons today, said the doormen had told him they had been instructed not to allow in anyone who had been at the Travellers’ conference because of “problems last year, except that there weren’t any”.
