Oliver Bromley has a genetic condition that causes non-cancerous tumours to grow on nerves.

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.

    That’s just horrible. And wtf is this “Yes it’s a crime but what can we do?” bullshit. Man I feel sorry for that guy. No body deserves to be treated that way. He just wanted to have a nice night out. Fuck that restaurant.

      It’s 1000% a human rights violation. There are proper channels. Don’t think police can do anything. The police even called it a hate crime, which it is not, because kicking someone out of a restaurant, regardless of the reason, isn’t a crime in and of itself.
