That's pretty weak, OB. Your right as a landlady to bar someone you don't like does not in any way detract from the status of your establishment as a public house. If you were to enforce your right to pick and choose your clientele to any significant degree, you wouldn't be a pub, you would be a private members club, and they have different licencing terms.
You might be able to pick and choose your clientele, but you cannot pick and choose which aspects of health and safety law you uphold, even if you think they make trading more difficult. This new Law is being framed in health and safety terms.
