Hawksmoor requested Tommy Robinson to go away after group of workers ‘felt uncomfortable’

Far-right anti-Islam activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, higher referred to as Tommy Robinson, used to be requested to go away a London eating place after the industry stated visitors and group of workers felt uncomfortable.

The 42-year-old stated he and 4 others had been advised to go away the Hawksmoor steakhouse, close to Piccadilly Circus, on Thursday.

Yaxley-Lennon has accused the eating place of “discriminatory behaviour” because of his political views.

Hawksmoor, which failed to title Yaxley-Lennon in its commentary, stated the gang left the eating place “politely”, including that its choice used to be “not about politics or belief” and it used to be “not trying to engage in a public debate”.

The eating place chain has been contacted for additional remark.

Video photos, posted on X by means of a member of Yaxley-Lennon’s crew, displays a member of group of workers telling them that his colleagues felt “uncomfortable serving” them.

The group of workers member is then heard pronouncing that he had a “duty of care”, including that he would waive the invoice for his or her beverages and apologising for the inconvenience.

Posting on X, Yaxley-Lennon stated: “Restaurants and businesses should not be political. We weren’t loud, aggressive or inappropriate, so this can only be my politics.”

Tripadvisor has briefly suspended critiques on some Hawksmoor eating places because of an inflow of critiques “that do not describe a first-hand experience”.

It comes after Yaxley-Lennon referred to as for a boycott of the eating place and for his fans on X to go away critiques.

The steakhouse chain has seven eating places in London, with branches in Liverpool, Edinburgh, Manchester and in a foreign country.

In a commentary Hawksmoor stated: “On Thursday, a public figure was asked to leave one of our restaurants because guests and staff felt uncomfortable and had complained.

“The celebration left peacefully and courteously on request.”

It added it wanted to welcome guests “without reference to background or perspectives” and its team had to deal with a “large quantity of fallout… a few of which is relatively regarding”.

BBC News has contacted the steakhouse chain’s CEO for comment.

It comes after Yaxley-Lennon pleaded no longer to blame to two fees of harassing two Daily Mail newshounds on Thursday.

Yaxley-Lennon founded the far-right English Defence League, known for its protests against what it calls “radical Islam”. He stepped down in 2013.
