Illegal for landlord to refuse on food preference?
Discussion
BTW, as far as Mr Wilson goes, it's not hard to find a reasonable overview of his property empire... For a start, he's director of precisely one company currently - with a name which implies it's in the clothing business, and which is in the process of being dissolved. That's one more than Mrs W. The address Companies House list for him (and which is also on planning applications) is somewhat unprepossessing. So... this empire is all in their personal names? Now, I'm not any kind of tax specialist or accountant, but that seems like it might not be the best of structures.

pro bono publico ( and I suspect magno cum gaudio)

Fair points there. Suing someone for being mean on the internet is the act of a man who needs a bit of cash to be fair. It correlates with his damages being exactly at the small claims limit too.
It might be that, but it might also be an expression of foolish spleen and/or the act of someone hoping to intimidate a person assumed to be an easy target. Once the target turned out to be defended by two experienced lawyers, the caper may have seemed less attractive to Mr W.I get the impression that Mr W may see himself as some sort of bold maverick who does not need advisers, and who is a plain speaker and what not. After all, who needs experts? He unwisely defended the slam dunker claim that the EHRC made against him last year. He acted in person on that one.
Perhaps he hoped the Judge last year would see him as Mr Plucky Brit facing the bureaucratic PC state, the sort of chap who might be a hero to some of the pub ranters that populate NPE (and occasionally drop in here), nostalgic for the good old days when you could call a spade a spade. Or perhaps Mr W just likes publicity.

Why not just say it?I fail to see the need to rattle off some pretentious statement, not least as it makes you look like you’re doffing your cap at someone you see as superior.
Isn’t it enough to just say “well done” anymore?

Because it was a joke about why he took the case (i.e. for the public good, but also for the joy of it. Translating well known Latin phrases is pretty trivial if you have Google)
Pro bono is a well used phrase, translating English into an effectively dead language serves no purpose other than to come across as a smug so and soGavia said:

Sorry you didn’t find it amusing. Tell you what, you can have your ticket price back, and maybe in future I’ll pitch a bit more for the Sun reader market. Gavia said:

It’s not humour, it’s either sucking up, or trying to be clever, neither of which is particularly funny.

I’m certainly not policing it, I was looking for an answer to a question around the way some posters act around Breadvan, but that clearly isn’t going to happen. It’s certainly no less entertaining than you attempting to police the thread.
