A buy-to-let tycoon who banned Indian and Pakistani tenants "because of
the curry smell" has been ordered to ditch the policy.

Landlord Fergus Wilson, who owns hundreds of properties in Kent, denied
being racist and told a court he rents to a number of non-white people.
Proceedings began after an email from Mr Wilson to his lettings agency,
asking to ban "coloured" people from renting his homes, was leaked to
The Sun newspaper.
Speaking after the hearing, he maintained there was a "problem" with
people "cooking curries" in their homes.
"It gets into the carpets, it gets into the walls. You'll find that most landlords think the same. I'm here because I said it."
Speaking to BBC Asian Network earlier this year, Mr Wilson said a
property he had bought from an Indian couple cost him about £12,000
because the curry smell became a "massive problem".
In the past, Mr Wilson evicted all 200 of his housing benefit tenants,
saying he would rather have "migrants as tenants than people on benefits".
What a charming fellow!
