It’s probably going to be a bad day tomorrow for the folks at Punch Taverns.

After having their annual general meeting Friday, LGBT Labour reconvened at the Greencoat Boy, 2 Greencoat Place, where they had booked the function room.

According to LBGT’s Twitter, “Manager at The Greencoat Boy near Westminster told members he would have refused the #LGBTLabour booking if he’d known it was an LGBT group!”. Whoops.

LGBT Labour then called the police. ( Photos )

According to Political Scrapbook, Punch has promised a statement later today.
