No, if you started prosecuting people, you'd create resentment against guide dog owners. At the moment I assume you are being declined service out of ignorance or fear. Education is the solution not punishment.

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I am opposed to ordering business owners how to operate their own businesses, except on safety grounds. But on the other hand, allowing each business to be as bigoted as they like would really lead to a dreadful world. Of course, the big thing at the moment is that people don't have a right not to be offended, and that being the case, if stores want to piss off their customers it's their business.

Is it the job of society to support minority populations? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it does, but you speak as though that should be our obligation. But why?

@nakyer Total false equivalence AND a slippery slope argument, in one sentence. That's impressive stupidity. There's no doubt about the legality of a CRIMINAL act such as mugging. It would be more like prosecuting someone for not obeying a new (fictitious) CIVIL law demanding separate bathrooms for trans people if you have a business that does over £250k per year. Obeying it would be expensive, and not everybody could be expected to know it.

Of course you're right, nobody should ever express opinions because that never accomplishes anything right? Except, you know, every important social change evr. And of course, anybody who expresses the tiniest bit of empathy for businesses on the other side of the equation should be labelled with hyperbolic shaming language. And of course, the fact that something is A CRIME (shock horror) means that we should simply accept it. Just as we still send children to Australia for stealing a loaf of bread right? You are everything that's wrong with SJWs, and over-sensitive, virtue signalling whiners like you are directly why the despicable right is gaining power all over the world as the public pushes back against the fascistic thought-policed world that you would create.

New laws are introduced on a daily basis. It's impossible for businesses or individuals to keep up with them. I have great sympathy for any small business who is reluctant to cater to every conceivable demographic the second they are identified, much less those who simply failed to notice that the law had changed.

Just continue with that silly hyperbolic language. See how seriously anyone takes you. If you REALLY cared about the plight of disabled people, charging in and being rude to people expressing moderate opinions was the antithesis of how to affect a change in attitude.

Abusive? You've got to be kidding. YOU of all people have the front to accuse ME of being abusive. Every post you've made to me has been abusive. If you were one fraction as smart as you think you are, you'd see that across the planet there is considerable push back against the rapid enforcement of rights for people above and beyond what is reasonable. Trans bathrooms, enforced use of gender pronouns, positive racial and gender discrimination, and gay rights are all policies that are currently creating enemies out of moderates because of their aggressive demands. But go on, keep on doing more harm than good. You're certainly persuading me. In the same way as a punch in the face will.
