But wouldn't that be surrendering to intimidation? People can't be afraid to state opinions due to threats from certain groups! These people thrive on fear and intimidation - people have to stick two fingers up at them!

Such is the way of the world, wouldnt it have been better to avoid the intimidation in the first place rather than have to cope with abuse, threats and possible violence.

Dont forget sometimes nutters do follow through with threats.

It doesn't matter. Offering their B&B to anyone is the law now. Angry mob or no angry mob. The people writing death threats are obviously idiots, but that doesn't make the B&B owners right.

I still think they are entitled to their views on such matters - when their business is also their home and their children are on the premisies!

But the spare room is not their home, it is a room where people pay to stay which falls under "the provision of goods and services". Don't want all sorts of people staying in your house? Don't run a B&B.

As do Christians, Muslims, agnostics atheists, women, men, criminals, victims, ethnic minorities, ethnic majorities. Its the nature of the human psyche.

Those inverted commas are killing me.

Nobody is moaning about the law, just you.
