Nigel Farage claims that the British state discriminates against white people through “harmful” legislation.
Farage is the leader of Reform UK and is well placed to become Britain’s prime minister after the next general election. In a “Letter to Britain” on Substack, he accuses the Labour government of “anti-whiteness”, writes The Times.
Farage further claims that Britain functions as a “two-tier” country. Current Prime Minister Keir Starmer has, as is well known, acquired the nickname “Two-tier Keir”.
He criticises the authorities, both nationally and locally, for being hypnotised by DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion).
In the letter, he writes, among other things:
“The British state no longer works for everyone in this country. In both public and economic life, the government has used its power to combat ‘inequalities’ in a narrow and specific sense.
Anything perceived as disadvantageous to a minority group is clamped down on. Anything that benefits a minority and disadvantages white Britons is likely to be left alone.”
Britons “basically expect fair treatment”, Farage believes.
“But there is nothing fair about the way white people have been treated by their governments.
On the surface, the goal appears unobjectionable: the authorities should strive to be a little kinder and a little more understanding in their dealings with minority groups. In practice, however, it is a deeply sinister form of social cleansing.”
Inclusion Means Exclusion
Large sections of the political “elite” have become ideologically compromised. Examples of this were seen after the killing of George Floyd in 2020, which sparked massive demonstrations and riots in the United States that also spread to a number of other Western countries.
The Black Lives Matter movement was celebrated. Politicians such as Keir Starmer and the entire Premier League took the knee for BLM, despite the violence, destruction and breaches of all pandemic regulations.
But if one said “White Lives Matter”, one was condemned as racist and risked being ostracised and/or losing one’s job. Even saying “All Lives Matter” was regarded as inappropriate and could lead to consequences.
In practice, it is now enshrined in law across large parts of the West that discrimination against certain groups is not only lawful, but almost required.
At the same time, these same politicians speak incessantly about the importance of focusing on “inclusion” and avoiding “division”, while visibly practising exclusion and creating division by prioritising selected groups.
Thus George Orwell’s Newspeak has become a reality, albeit somewhat later than in 1984.
Farage’s essay is intended to be the beginning of a series motivated by the killing of Henry Nowak.
Reform UK believes that the party’s increasingly strong stance on this issue will be well received in the by-election in Makerfield, where the party is losing votes to Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain. It is probably already too late.
This election appears likely to secure Andy Burnham a seat in the House of Commons after the vote on 18 June and give Burnham an opportunity to challenge Starmer as leader of Labour and Prime Minister of Britain.
Equality Act 2010
The Equality Act 2010 was introduced under Gordon Brown to protect selected groups from discrimination on the basis of a list of nine protected characteristics: race, religion, disability, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage and pregnancy.
Once again, an example of how equality before the law has been abolished, something that characterises the whole of Western Europe, including Norway. There are now separate laws applying to selected “vulnerable” groups.
DEI and laws such as the Equality Act are exploited by all groups that use identity politics as their weapon. It is as though politicians have created a new kind of nobility. Farage is critical, writing:
“Nothing demonstrates the state’s commitment to anti-whiteness more clearly than the ironically named ‘Equality Act’ … It is through this legislation that anti-whiteness becomes institutionalised throughout public life.”

A Persistent Political Agenda
This law gave Labour the opportunity to infect Britain with a political agenda capable of enduring for many years after it lost power. The Conservative Party failed to repeal this law during its 14 years in government.
In that case, it helps little that current Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch last week attacked the same legislation.
Towards the end, the Reform UK leader writes:
“A fish rots from the head down, and local government has followed the DEI signals from the very top. Westminster City Council required staff to undertake a ‘privilege test’, while giving preference to non-white candidates from the ‘global majority’ over equally qualified white applicants.”
Nigel Farage promises that Reform UK will prohibit national and local authorities from participating in or promoting DEI.
