‘Unlawful discrimination’ The EHRC’s executive director, Alastair Pringle, said: “It is hard not to draw comparisons with an ‘undesirable guest list’ and the signs displayed in hotel windows 50 years ago, explicitly barring Irish people and black people. “Banning people from services based on their race is discrimination and is unlawful. To say that such policies are outdated is an understatement. “It is right to challenge such practices and any business that believes this is acceptable should think again before they find themselves facing legal action. “We will continue to work with Pontins and Britannia Jinky Jersey to ensure that our agreement is adhered to and its practices improve.”
