Discrimination in Plain Sight: The Unjust Treatment of Tommy Robinson and Friends at Hawksmoor.

In a recent and deeply troubling incident, Tommy and his friends were asked to leave Hawksmoor restaurant—after being welcomed in, seated, and served drinks and starters. Tommy and his friends behaved respectfully, no one was intoxicated, and there were no complaints from fellow diners. The decision to eject them came from a manager, citing that staff “felt uncomfortable” with their presence. But this vague explanation rings hollow in the face of what appears to be a clear-cut case of politically motivated discrimination.

This wasn’t a matter of poor behaviour or policy violation. On the contrary, the group was calm, courteous, and engaging in what should have been a normal evening out. The issue seems to stem not from any actions taken within the restaurant, but from Tommy’s public reputation—a stance that dangerously blurs the lines between personal bias and professional hospitality. Regardless of where one stands politically, every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and fairness, especially in a setting designed for public accommodation.

The act of publicly asking them to leave—after allowing them to begin their meal—was not only humiliating, it sent a chilling message: some people may be denied service not because of how they behave, but because of who they are or what they believe. That is a precedent that should concern everyone.

We encourage all those who value fairness and equal treatment to stand against this kind of discrimination. Sign the petition and let your voice be heard.
