Woman 'discriminated against' as illness means she couldn't get into bar

A 21-year-old woman says she has been discriminated against after being refused access to a bar due to her medical condition, which means she cannot get a driving licence. Cerys Fletcher showed a valid UK ID when she turned up at the bar with friends, but was told it was not acceptable.

Cerys cannot hold a driving licence because she has epilepsy, so she carries a Validate UK ID card. The bar says Cerys’s party was informed of its ID policy when they booked the table — and paid £90 for a deposit. The group will get a full refund, reports MEN.

Cerys said: “I have had problems like this in the past, but not as disgusting as this. I told him that this was discrimination. I cannot get it out of my head.”
