Farage used a series of white nationalist tropes in his 7,000-word essay on Substack on 15 June titled ‘Britain is a two tier state – against white people’, in which he called for the repeal of the 2010 Equality Act, describing it as the means by which “anti-Whiteness is institutionalised into every aspect of public life.”

In a video published this week, he stated that white working-class boys were “currently the lowest-performing group in the country’s education system thanks to the Equality Act”, and pledged that Reform UK would “scrap it and return Britain to a meritocracy.” However, the official data Farage cites contradicts both his education claim and the causal argument on which his case for repeal rests.

What a worthless dumpster of hate.

Britain has never, ever, been a meritocracy.

He just spouts lies on top of lies.
