💨 Abstract

Staff at West End restaurants supported Hawksmoor Steakhouse's decision to refuse service to far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose presence made employees and diners uncomfortable. Robinson accused the restaurant of discrimination due to his political beliefs, while Hawksmoor denied politicizing the issue, stating they prioritized staff and guest comfort. Video footage showed staff expressing discomfort and citing a "duty of care."
