Is this legal and acceptable in the new 'Great Britain'

back 50 years?:



One of the UK's biggest buy-to-let landlords has instructed agents acting on his behalf, not to let his properties to “coloured people”, because the smell of curry “sticks to the carpet”.

Fergus Wilson's Kent property empire is thought to number around 1,000 homes in the Ashford and Maidstone areas.

The 70-year-old has form for "offensive directives" regarding who can and cannot rent his properties.

At the start of the year, he told agents not to rent to battered wives, single parents, low income and zero hours workers, or plumbers.
