And if you follow the link

https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2017-0020.html

it makes clear political views were considered.
Yes - I stand corrected - I've just read the judgment.

However I think there is a particular Northern Ireland flavour to this, as much of the judgement related to specific NI provisions in the Fair Employment and Treatment (Northern Ireland) Order 1998. So would be interesting to know whether there would have been a similar judgement were this to have taken place in other parts of the UK.

So your claiming that Jeremy and I are confused because we don't agred with your decision of what would happen in a case that didn't occur. Ok....
No you seem confused regarding the difference between an individual and an organisation (e.g. a company).

In what way - the law treats individuals and organisations differently. The Equality act applies to individual, protecting them against being treated less favourably on the basis of certain protected characteristics. That does not apply to organisations as that do not exhibit the characteristics that are protected.

The Financial Conduct Authority says there is no evidence politicians are having their bank account closed for their views. Nigel Farage is upset.
