    ""You knew she was a single mum and yet you rented to her"

    i'm a bigot???

    how do you work that out?

    you just said she was a single mum and had no money so you couldn't sue her.

    but when I pointed out you knew that when you chose to let it to her, you say i'm a bigot

    not wanting to rent to a single mum with kids who is likely not to have money and who will cause more wear and tear than a working couple is not bigotry...

    you might as well say the bank is bigoted for not lending to people who don't have a good job and might not be able to pay it back.

    that's not bigotry, it's a business decision.

    you have chosen to run a business, so you should have figured these things into your business plan. it's not like anyone forced you to get into buytolet and rent to people with no money.
    My policies are based not on some economics theory, but on things I and millions like me were brought up with: an honest day's work for an honest day's pay; live within your means; put by a nest egg for a rainy day; pay your bills on time; support the police - Margaret Thatcher.

    Somehow I don't think a business model where you only lend to people who could easily afford to buy their own home would work!
