It is all to do with Martyn's Law which will become law sooner than later. You dont want to be an outlier when it comes to this kind of thing and the club cannot be seen to be dragging its heels or being belligerent so it is obliged to act in advance and it has rightly chosen to follow the crowd. If they had mentioned Martyns Law in their release and added a woolly line at the end to indicate that discretion would be applied there would have been a different reaction. The messaging raised questions for average people but it was rocket fuel for those non-bag carrying people who validate themselves by being offended on behalf of someone else. They must assume that large bag carriers are mute and unable to use a keyboard. But now we know, they can always take it up with Martyns Mum directly. Martyn's Law is pending UK wide legislation that aims to place a duty on qualifying public premises or events to take certain steps to reduce the threat of terrorism to the public.
