Explained in plain English
Who decides what's allowed?
In the UK, individual businesses and venue owners have the right to set their own rules for what's permitted on their private property. This is why places like Wetherspoons can ban smart glasses, even if there isn't a specific law against them. It's about balancing personal freedom with the comfort and safety of all patrons and staff.
