I actually know this little wretch. Didn’t realise it was him until I looked through his Twitter profile and saw some of his picks this morning. Weirdly, looking at his tweets, he seems to write like he’s proper Scottish but I always remember him having one of those middle class accents that sounds English. Appropriating Scottishness as well it seems!
Subject: Your Rouge Misogynistic Employee Targeting Females in Edinburgh
To Whom It May Concern At Greene King,
I am absolutely outraged at what occurred at your Doctors Pub in Edinburgh. Your male 'trans' manager waited until a diminutive female customer was headed to the loo, alone, to verbally accost, threaten, intimidate and toss her (and all her friends) from your establishment. This highly unprofessional, misogynistic manager has previously posted bizarre nude photos of himself all over the internet, with lude, rude and disturbing statements and comments regarding his genitals, intimate sexual practices, hatred of women and violent intentions towards women in general. That he is employed at your facility is profoundly distressing. That you would permit him to call the police on customers who are simply having a drink at your pub is beyond shocking and alarming. This man took it upon himself to act as judge, jury and executioner regarding his own personal (private) beliefs, which should have no place in any restaurant or pub. I do not feel at all safe in ANY of your establishments, alone or in the company of others. Greene King needs to rid itself of this lone misogynistic lunatic, apologize to women everywhere, and ensure that no woman is EVER bullied or victimized by anyone connected to your business ever again. I fully intend on boycotting your businesses and encouraging others to do so as well, until this matter is properly resolved to my satisfaction.
I'm old enough to remember the days when unaccompanied (by a man) women didn't go into pubs. Or 'naice' ones didn't anyway. Looks like Greene King are trying to recapture those days. They have pubs in England too, so a boycott could be damaging to them. Shouldn't be to difficult to organise.
I just can't see the pub standing behind this vile employee. Pubs are there to serve drinks and make money, not police the opinions of their patrons. I don't know the law in the UK but suspect this has to be contrary to the Equality Act so I sincerely hope this man-child will be ejected from his position (and ideally escorted off the premises by the police).
I’m sorry this happened to Marion Millar as it’s a terribly exhausting thing to absorb this constant silencing, bullying and abuse of targeted women. It’s also downright insulting and abusive and from the very worst and most infantile people pushing a misogynist agenda. Their views and needs are disrespectful and rude. It’s so tiring to have to absorb the predictability and childishness of it all. Clearly the mental issues they have are to deeply entrenched and in unable to resolve. It’s all about shameless control and undermining of women so handmaids and misogynists should really be vilified publicly. I mean really how childish and vile. If only an eye roll would do it but pushback is required they’re so shameless and delusional. The appropriation of womanhood is just the tip of the iceberg of disrespect brave women are expected to put up with. I hope he loses his job he’s clearly unable and unworthy to even shut his mouth and serve drinks or clean loos for women. A very low bar indeed. Delusional, egomaniac with all forms of arrested development. Does anyone teach these little shitheads what is and is not appropriate? Well carry on resisting and naming and shaming these blokes ladies and allies because they need telling it’s not bloody on and we’re not having it.
I was there but left early missing the stooshie as my feet hurt. We more verging more on 20 women. We had just been to a Fringe walking comedy tour and were concentrating on chatting amongst ourselves and eating and drinking.
Not only does it breach license conditions, it is specifically illegal under the Licensing Act 2005 for a licensed premises to discriminate against any members of the public. The police clearly don't understand the law. You can't just ask someone to leave for no good reason; this is clearly no good reason.
The more things like this happen, the more I wonder how 'Visit Scotland' will handle their next tourism campaign. I used to love visiting and working in Scotland, but this must be damaging how it's seen. There is a growing list of places to avoid - thanks for adding yourself to that list Greene King.
The profile of the TiM who manages this place on Twitter states he’s an AGP porn addicted male cumbrained submissive - vile I know but he wrote that in his profile and he clearly hates women. Absolute madness in Scotland.
‘I have been a regular customer at the……………..for a few years now and enjoyed many a night out. The staff are lovely and the food and drinks are reasonably priced. I’ve recommended you to family, friends and colleagues and was in fact there on Friday night spending about £60 on food and drinks. I have most probably frequented other pubs under your ownership.
However, I was disappointed and angered at learning that my friend, Marion Millar, was deliberately targeted by one of your employees in Doctors Bar in Edinburgh and told to leave. This wasn’t because of rowdy or disruptive behaviour; it happened almost as soon as she arrived and for simply being who she is and having opinions which said employee knew were contrary to their own.
This member of staff referred to her as a ‘TERF’ and has since gone on to tweet this derogatory and misogynistic slur several times.
Am I to consider this employee as being representative of your organisation? An employee who calls themselves a children’s entertainer but exposes themselves on Twitter and talks openly about their sexual exploits? Who is deeply misogynistic in a culture where just recently, women in Plymouth tragically became the deliberate target of a misogynist?
More pertinent to your business perhaps - is it normal for your staff to ask your customers to leave if they know they have an opinion contrary to theirs? And to then call the police to force their friends to leave when they haven’t exhibited any of the behaviours that would normally warrant police intervention? Are you going to ask your customers to complete some sort of opinion survey and have staff review it before allowing entry? If so, then I certainly do not wish to visit any one of your pubs again and will be telling my friends, family and colleagues about what happened to Marion; I don’t think they’ll be too impressed either.
In reply, I’d like some reassurances that this is a one-off and that the appropriate action has been taken against the employee involved’.
And yes, I was actually there on Friday night. Some boycotts are tougher than others.
Inquiry launched into row over 'transphobia' in Edinburgh pub

I'm just so fucking angry! Marion deserves so much better than what Sturgeon's shitehole has thrown at her.

Well, this man has certainly brought his employer into disrepute. Bellhaven Pubs, owned by the Greene King brewery, might not be best pleased.

Can you think of a woman who would behave with this aggression?

Is that 'porn addicted AGP' in his bio for real? If so, at least he knows the truth about himself, or some of it anyway.

Speaking as an American, how is this not illegal? Can someone explain?
