«Breaking News» Court blasts law forcing landlords to check tenants' migrant status

A key part of the Government's 'hostile environment' immigration policy was in tatters last night after judges ruled it breaches human rights.

The High Court condemned measures forcing landlords to check whether tenants have a right to be in the UK, ruling the so-called 'right to rent' scheme has a 'disproportionately discriminatory effect'.

Mr Justice Martin Spencer said: 'MPs who voted for this would be aghast to learn of its discriminatory effect.

High Court judges have condemned measures forcing landlords to check whether tenants have a right to be in the UK, ruling the so-called 'right to rent' has a 'discriminatory effect'

'In my judgment, the evidence strongly showed not only that landlords are discriminating against potential tenants on grounds of nationality and ethnicity but also they are doing so because of the scheme.

'The scheme does not merely provide the occasion or opportunity for private landlords to discriminate, but causes them to do so where otherwise they would not.'

The rules were introduced in 2014 and meant landlords could face fines or imprisonment for failing to check if tenants had a right to be in the UK.

But the High Court ruled that this policy clearly breached human rights laws.

The court ruled in favour of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI). The Home Office had argued the scheme was neither 'directly or indirectly discriminatory' and would discourage illegal residence in the UK.

While the Home Office was given permission to appeal, critics said the law should be immediately repealed.

Chai Patel, legal adviser of the JCWI said: 'Today's judgment demonstrates why the hostile environment must be dismantled.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
