Welcome to the Opera
I suppose you live in an insane asylum.
It's far more common than you think and no, cartoons don't offend me to the point where I believe people should be murdered for them.

Skanky Old Mongrel!
I like you.
You make me smile. In fact, when I wondered how you make a living I imagined you in a job where you would need to offer customer service with customer care..... then I laughed out loud!
You still haven't told us where you live in Britain. Nor have you told us which countries are better. Some, but not many.
My business =/= My citizenship
I have constitutional rights that my business does not have.
I can refuse service for any reason that does not violate people's civil rights. Meaning I can discriminate on external or internal marketing and customer service based on sales goals, on marketing campaigns, on dress codes (I don't allow students to wear jeans to class), on behavior.
I should not refuse service based on orientation, race, or even political and ideological affiliation.
In the city where my dance studio is located, a white supremacist Aryan Nation office is located right down the street. Phyllis Schlafly lives just a few miles away. I couldn't be farther away from them in my beliefs either. But as long as they are no threat to my property or to my safety and they follow the same codes of conduct and dress as everyone else, I must provide them opportunity of receiving my services as much as anyone else.
I would be unfair to conflate my constitutional rights and freedoms with the role my business has. I may not like it, but I decided to run a business here. Everyone should have the same right to my services per the law against discrimination.
