Restaurant asked Tommy Robinson to leave after staff 'felt uncomfortable'
Briefly

Tommy Robinson, known for his far-right anti-Islam activism, was asked to leave Hawksmoor steakhouse in London because other diners and staff felt uncomfortable. He accused the restaurant of discrimination over his political beliefs. The restaurant maintained that their actions were not politically motivated, emphasizing their duty of care for customers. Following Robinson's call for a backlash against Hawksmoor, the restaurant saw a surge of unverified reviews on Tripadvisor, leading to a temporary suspension of reviews on some locations.
Hawksmoor stated they asked a group to leave due to discomfort expressed by guests and staff, clarifying their decision was not based on politics or belief.
Yaxley-Lennon condemned the restaurant's actions as discriminatory, asserting they weren't behaving inappropriately and claiming their treatment stemmed from his political beliefs.
