That is not the case, as Trade Unions are allowed to ban people, but other groups(the Left of course decide which ones) can't.

The Human Rights Act along other things of that sort(eg EU rules) are just a mechanism for giving the Left power to control things without the inconvenience of the ballot box.

I don't believe anyone is allowed to ban anyone on the basis of religious belief.
