"Landlords are illegally advertising for “Muslim only” tenants across London and the south-east, an investigation by The Telegraph has found.

The listings, posted on Facebook, Gumtree and Telegram, a social media and messaging channel, feature phrases such as “only for Muslims”, “for 2 Muslim boys or 2 Muslim girls” and “Muslims preferred”.

Others include direct appeals to Punjabi and Gujarati speakers or Kerala and Haryana people, while there are also job vacancies on the platforms that are advertised for men only.

On Facebook, a company called Roshan Properties, which also has a TikTok account, had dozens of listings stating “prefer Muslim boy”, “one double room is available for Muslims” and “suitable for Punjabi boy”.

Others advertised for “Hindus only” while there are also posts from those seeking to rent on religious lines, including one listing that states: “The house should be alcohol and smoke free.”

Facebook took the page down after being alerted by The Telegraph. Gumtree listings also include requests for only Muslim and Hindu tenants.

All the advertisements appear to breach the Equality Act 2010, which prohibits discrimination based on religion or belief, race and other protected characteristics."

The Royal college of Nursing has already announced that we are on the brink of a major collapse due to the chronic lack of nursing staff, so how is targeting people who have already settled or plan to settle going to help in this department?

That is even before taking into consideration their plan to increase the minimum wage for a working visa to 60k p/year?

What are your thoughts on this? Is Reform to be trusted which such a radical plan?

Edit. For the records, I do not trust Reform with this. In fact, I personally think this might be in many ways, a direct attack to the NHS, to undermine its capabilities, create a problem it did not exists before, and trying to "solve it" by privatising our health care. Just interested to see what other's people views are on this particular matter.

do the far right not realise that racism affects every person of colour regardless of their legal status. according to them I shouldn’t be scared of the far right getting into power because my parents are legal immigrants and therefore are doing it the ‘right way’ and are working and not leeching off the system….but why do they use racist rhetoric and why do their supporters openly admit they’re racist and actively discriminate against anyone that isn’t white. The far right rally showed that, they don’t care if the people are legal or not, they just want us eradicated for whatever reason. Friends of mine have been getting racially attacked recently, it’s not about legal status and it never was.

I understand that this a phase, something like this happens every few years or so, but my dad is getting concerned that maybe we should be leaving the country ( I know I am NOT, I was born here and I WILL stay no matter what), he is clearly an immigrant as is my mum and I am getting concerned for their safety as they work in client facing professions (restaurant owner and volunteer). It’s tiring going over it all. I can’t be asked to care anymore because genuinely what I am I meant to do about it other than make this post? All I can do is hope is that me and my family and my community can be safe and well.

I just can’t believe they aren’t labelled terrorists or facists by the major media networks. It’s disgusting how they’ve been clearly let off and made to form a disgusting mob.
