Some discussion from March -

Of course he can.

Can he flout discrimination legislation doing so?

Of course he can't.

It's as simple as that.

Another version of this old chestnut...

Andy has said it all here.

This loathsome individual ( Wilson, not Andy ) has already been in the news for years, for his discriminatory renting criteria. The last I heard he was "liquidating" most of his property empire.

TTT

Every few months this question comes up.

The answers are not likely to change.

Come come, we all get a bit forgetful as the years slip by. :)

[mikey4444]

They won't change SP, until this loathsome individual stops being a racist, which isn't anytime soon !

[jno]

no.

[douglas9401]

Careful now Mikey, it's quite a drop from that high horse.

[jno]

you don't really have to get on a very high horse to look down on racists.

This is from a few years ago. I don't know if anything has been done about it, but it's blatant racism.

Lets turn this around, maybe someone here rents properties and can answer.

is there any reason for which you can refuse to rent your property to someone.

I like curry and make one occasionally here at home. I am not aware that there is a problem with making my house smell unduly of curry though.

I am not in need of a rental home, but what if I was and had the misfortune to approach this dreadful man....would he question me on my eating habits and culinary skills, or wouldn't he be overly interested, as I am clearly white ?

[ToraToraTora]

yes dave you can and you do not have to explain.

[webbo3]

Thanks TTT.

Dave.

[mikey4444]

TTT...no you can't, as has been explained to you, and others,
ad nauseam.

[ToraToraTora]

this bloke has just been a bit too honest. he does not have to let to anyone and he does not have to explain why.
