A teenage wheelchair user says a bar kicked her out simply because staff deemed her a “fire risk,” prompting outrage online and renewed scrutiny over disability-access laws in the United Kingdom. In a viral TikTok, creator Maddie (@maddieiswheelycool) described being removed from a bar in Manchester, England, despite repeatedly telling staff that ejecting her because of her wheelchair was unlawful. “So I’m being kicked out of a bar for being in a wheelchair,” Maddie said in the video, according to the clip posted to her account. She said the manager told her, “If we get fine then I send the fine straight to you.” Maddie responded: “You do that.” “I’ve showed the law,” she said. “I said, ‘You can’t remove me because I’m in a wheelchair.’ … They’re saying that they still have to remove me and I can’t stay here.” Maddie, who said she is 17, later described the encounter as degrading and claimed a staff member approached her while she was speaking and behaved rudely before refusing to continue the conversation.
