Thank you... but it just got worse:
"In addition, the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, as amended by the Sex
Discrimination (Amendment of Legislation) Regulations 2008, prohibits
discrimination on grounds of pregnancy or maternity in the fields of
goods, facilities or services, and premises. For example, if a mother
who was breastfeeding her baby in a cafe was asked to leave, she could
bring a claim of direct sex discrimination against the proprietor,
providing her baby is not older than 6 months."
So, if you are booted out of a cafe with a five month old, you have to
SUE the cafe under the Sex Discrimination Act. After all, the cafe
owner has conveniently written down their reasons for booting you out as
they escorted you to the door.
Better make sure Mums take birth certificates out with them... as babies
are clearly going to need to be 'carded' at the door so they can prove
they are young enough to have a drink.
