      Well obviously. I’m pretty sure this has come up before and it was found to be discrimination then.

      I’m shocked that people following ideologies that have core tenants that state nonbelievers/people not part of a certain social group are by default lesser people are actually just following their regressive ideology, who would have thought.

      For all the criticism that corporate mega landlords get, I can guarantee you wouldn’t get Blackrock or Barclays doing this kind of nonsense.

      Well, yeah. Religion or lack thereof is part of the Equality Act, and there’s no valid grounds for only letting homes out to specific religions.

      Now imagine Brits moving to Pakistan and making “Christian only” rentals

      I remember when I was living in HMOs (moving about with work) and there was always lots of „girls/women only“ advertisements on SpareRoom. It was frustrating, but I was also a little bit pleased that they were forthright about it.

      Of course I’d rather the discrimination wasn’t there at all, but not leading me on was second best.

      It’s funny that we fall over ourselves in the name of equality, to protect people from cultures who think that this sort of in-group discrimination is perfectly fine.

      Wonder how this story inevitably pivots to “it’s happening and it’s actually a good thing” by the Guardians and LBCs of the world

      From 2020:

      >UK supreme court backs housing charity’s ‚Jewish only‘ rule

      >A woman seeking housing in east London who alleged racial discrimination when a housing charity reserved its properties for Orthodox Jewish people has lost her case at the supreme court.

      >In a ruling that cements positive discrimination as a legitimate way to tackle social disadvantage, the UK’s highest court of appeal found in favour of the Agudas Israel housing association in Stamford Hill after it listed its homes for rent with the caveat of “consideration only to the Orthodox Jewish community”.

      Obviously they breach the laws.

      But Nigel will be out tomorrow to say we need to get rid of the laws they breach because it allows them to do it.

      Then idiots will vote away all of our rights

      So the story is how we should crack down on the platforms that allow these adverts unchecked I guess. It is isn’t it? Isn’t it?

    15. TheCharalampos on

      Lol yeah? Next headline will be „Drunk Man driving breaches driving laws“

      Is it not obvious?

      Honestly I would have found this very helpful when looking for house shares.

      The last house share I was in, I got shown it by the letting agent but didn’t get to meet any tenants. Turned out all 8 tenants were Asian. None of them spoke to me or let me use the kitchen. Absolutely fucking miserable experience.

      People are confusing two issues here:

      Landlords are not allowed to discriminate

      People renting a room on, for example, Spareroom, absolutely are allowed to dictate the type of people they would like to live with.

      A better approach would be to list behaviours rather than race, and to note the existing makeup of the house.

      For example: “we are four Muslim lads looking for a new housemate. Our kitchen is strictly halal…” etc. Or, “we are a vegan house with a nervous rescue dog who wouldn’t be safe around small children.” Or “We are a family with two teenage daughters looking for another young female student to lodge with us during term time.”
