Travellers win discrimination case for 'distressing experience' at English pub

Delegates at an annual conference for Irish travellers have been awarded a total of £24,000 for the “distressing experience” of being refused entry to a Wetherspoon pub because of “racial stereotyping”.

The incident happened at The Coronet on Holloway Road, north London, in November 2011 and involved the Irish Traveller Movement in Britain – now known as The Traveller Movement.
