Milton Keynes: Tommy Robinson asked to leave Wing Kingz

The former English Defence League (EDL) leader, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was refused service at Wing Kingz, in Milton Keynes, on October 30.

Staff said in the video they were ‘not happy’ to serve him.

Luton-born Robinson alleged he was ‘discriminated’ against, “probably to do with my politics”.

He was having lunch with his family.

“I’m in Wing Kingz, which is a new restaurant in Milton Keynes, with my kids,” said Robinson.

“I’ve come in, they’ve given me a table, and then now, they’re not going to be able to serve me.”

Searching for management, Robinson said to a staff member: “People have a problem with me which is probably to do with my politics.

“They’ve come over and said that I’m not going to be served in here today.

“I’m not going to take the discrimination on that level.”

In response, a Wing Kingz supervisor said: “Unfortunately, none of our staff are happy to serve you, so can you please leave the restaurant.”

When Robinson asked why, the same person replied: “I’m pretty sure you know why.”

“No, I don’t know why,” replied Robinson.

The worker denied “discriminating” against Robinson.

“You need to ring [the owner] and tell him I’ll bring 500 people and shut the restaurant down,” Robinson said upon learning the owner was not available.

Adding: “So, because I have a different opinion, I’m going to be discriminated with my children?”

“Please leave the venue,” another worker said. “We’re full up.”

Wing Kingz recently tweeted: “As you may be aware, Wing Kingz has received many fake negative reviews over the past few days.

“This is following an incident whereby our customers and staff were made to feel uncomfortable by another customer.

“Wing Kingz does not tolerate racism or discrimination in any shape or form. We are a diverse business with customers and staff from all backgrounds and are committed to creating a safe, comfortable environment for everyone who steps through our doors.

“This matter is now with the police, and anything further will be dealt with by them.

“To our wonderful customers, friends and family, thank you for your continued support.”

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: “Thames Valley Police has received a report of harassment following an incident that occurred at Wing Kingz, Milton Keynes, on Saturday (30/10).
