A man with a facial disfigurement says he was asked to leave a restaurant in south London because staff said he was “scaring the customers”.

Oliver Bromley has Neurofibromatosis Type 1, a genetic condition that causes non-cancerous tumours to grow on his nerves.

Speaking to the BBC, he said when he had gone to place an order at a restaurant in Camberwell, staff told him there had been complaints about him.

“It’s a horrible thing to happen. I took it very personally on the day,” he said.

    See, Britain just needs Ugly Laws, like what America had up until 1974! Then they could just have the guy arrested!

    In all seriousness what the fuck. What goes through a person’s head that they think treating someone that way is even remotely okay?
