The Worker Protection Bill, which is close to becoming law, will mean bar staff to sue landlords if a drunk punter insults them, and medics to launch action against the NHS if they're offended by a patient, The Telegraph reports.
But while there is broad support for a separate clause in the Bill which brings in a requirement for employers to prevent the sexual harassment of employees, senior Tories have voiced concern that the proposed legislation in its current form goes beyond its calling, and will result in a wave of litigation and mean business owners are forced to run their firms like a “police state”.
Tory MPs reportedly accused the Government of “taking their eye off the ball” by backing the “mad” Private Member’s Bill, which is set to become law within weeks.

April fools has been and gone... This isn't real surely... Is it? 😅
Hopefully this will be covered by business insurance.
Oh, no, employers need to care about their employees' rights and safety ohhhh dear, what are we to do. Won't somebody please think of the poor business owners who have to care about their business.
How about us? We are totally offended by the MPs in this government, what can we do?
What about a law that protects workers allowing them to talk and treat members of the public the same way they are spoken or treated without any comeback from coward woke public that run crying when they have been treated equally?
Absurd
I have contacted the human rights lawyers to take out a law suit concerning the English people's and the medias treatment of our servicemen in favour of terrorists, illegal rape gangs, robbers, terrorist and killers entering the UK
You're making it up
Does that mean I can take legal action against the government for being offended in the classroom?
Nobody goes to work to be offended.
Well of course it has. They are totally misrepresenting what the bill proposes to get their 'anti-woke' followers angry about things that don't exist. It part of the straw man strategy. It proposes to stop actual harassment, not offence. Tories hate workers having rights.
Pathetic law, if people are offended by hurty words then retail/hospitality not for them
Considering a pint now costs the best part of a tenner, I feel somewhat entitled to blurt 'How fucking much?!?' occasionally.
We’re turning into a nanny state more and more each year
