But to return to the Jewish subject matter, do you approve of a
restaurant or club being able to refuse admission to anyone
without giving a reason, when such policies can effectively be
used to exclude blacks, Jews etc?

I don't know what goes on in Britain, but in the USA, if it
becomes apparent that a club is discriminating on the basis of
race or religion, they are breaking the law, and they will be in
lots of trouble, shut down, fined etc.

If anything, Britain is bending over backwards to accommodate
minorities. The diversity industry is positively thriving.

Only the "right" minorities. I read about a blind man who got on a
bus with his seeing-eye dog. There was a Muslim woman on the bus
with her children. Muslims have a "thing" about how dogs are
"unclean" and the woman raised a commotion. Instead of telling the
woman, that if she didn't like it, she could could get off the bus,
the driver said the the blind man; "Listen mate, the woman can't take
it. Maybe get off and wait for the next bus?". As you said bending
over backwards to accommodate minorities. I gues blind people do not
qualify as a "minority".
