❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage has called for the repeal of the so-called Equality Act of 2010, arguing that it institutionalizes anti-white racism and promotes divisive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies across Britain. In the first of a planned series of Substack articles published Sunday, he noted that the legislation, introduced by a former Labour Party government, has created a “two-tier” system that disadvantages white Britons and prioritizes identity over merit. 📺 DETAIL: Farage criticized Section 149 of the Equality Act, which mandates public sector bodies to promote participation from supposedly underrepresented groups, stating that it effectively enforces DEI principles and undermines merit-based standards. He also highlighted “positive action” provisions that allow for hiring and promotion practices favoring minorities at the expense of white candidates. “Equality has nothing to do with it. The intention is to dominate. Employees working in one civil service department were told they should ‘yield positions of power to those otherwise marginalised’ in order to be in the ‘growth zone’, and ‘surround [themselves] with others who think and look differently,'” he said of DEI guidelines within government, warning: “Identity network groups focused around race and religion – which can exert staggering power over senior staff members – operate as unelected and unaccountable networks of power.” 💬 KEY QUOTE: “Reform would bring this madness to an end, abolishing the Equality Act and reverting to previous anti-discrimination legislation… No recruitment, training or promotion policies that favour one group over another will be lawful: we will restore meritocracy so your skin colour, sex, age or sexuality has no bearing on your job prospects or treatment as an employee. It’s the best person for the job that matters.” – Nigel Farage 🎯 IMPACT: Farage’s call for reform follows the brutal murder of white teenager Henry Nowak, who was put in handcuffs by police officers instead of being helped while he was bleeding to death because his killer, Vickrum Digwa, falsely accused him of racism. |
