A liar and grifter caught lying and grifting.
Colour me surprised.

Not because of the equality act but due to DEI initiatives that I’m amazed don’t break the equality act.

No surprise Reform are ahead in the polls when the media tee up easy wins for them like this.

Didnt he hire a brown woman and brown man recently for positions that could have gone to white men? I like how he plays these idiots along…

Under the Equality Act employers can preferentially hire for sex and/or ethnicity if candidates score equally well in an assessment.
Considering Caucasian Men are going to very rarely be the beneficiaries of such a tie breaker (except maybe in female dominated industries such as Education or HR) then it’s probably fair to say that white men likely miss out on jobs because of the Equality Act.

Farage and unproven claim go together like horse and carriage

He knows this will spread like wildfire and his idiot supporters will believe it and then when Reform decide they’re scrapping the equality act it’ll be all good.

Are white men somehow more deserving of jobs than anyone else?

Perhaps he made the claim while doing a Cameo, and therefore isn’t responsible for what he said?
Like when he expressed his support for a terrorist organisation that wants to break up the union?
Or when he gave a eulogy for a convicted baby rapist?

Given there are roles out there white males can’t apply for, it’s clear that cohort are losing jobs.
You can argue the other way – allowing white males to apply for roles is taking jobs away from non-whites and females.
Meritocracy is the way forward, but we haven’t had that since race/sex quotas became a thing.

I will admit it makes me nervous when employers start asking questions about my race and sexuality, like why does that matter? Why is that any of their business??

Well no doubt THIS will be the final straw that causes the sycophantic media to turn on hiHA HA HA sorry couldn’t finish my sentence.

People may disagree with his comments but just think how much money we could save if we abolish DEI (or EDI) positions & spending in local government for example.

It doesn’t matter if it’s true. It will make his white male supporters feel better because their inadequacies aren’t their fault, it’s the fault of society and brown skinned immigrants.
It’s what propelled Trump to his first election victory. Point out the enemy to the disenfranchised poor white voter, and they will ignore any evidence or contrary argument.

The ones who vote for these don’t care about facts. They’re fueled by pure “vibes”.

The more he spouts lies poorly educated people want to hear, the more voters he picks up. He is following the Trump model – bamboozle the poorly educated with feel good lies to win their votes and then screw them over when he gets into power.
Sadly, it works. Trump is still in the 40% approval rating.
Voters don’t want to hear about the complexities of economic realities, or long term investment in social services, or the importance of education and a balanced society, they instead want easy answers, simple scapegoats and feel good flag-waving lies. And they’ll happily vote for whomever tells these lies.
Farage is a symptom of a bigger problem.

Everything he says is an unproven claim, what’s new with this one?

Scrapping the equality act would actually allow me to refuse to hire someone because they’re white as well as refusing their wife her job back after maternity leave

Who do you think loses out because of a diversity quota? It’s obviously most likely to be white men as the majority in the workforce. When you deliberately increase hiring of every other group, that group obviously is losing out on some jobs. This is obvious

Why did they pick the equality act though!?
Obviously it’s about reducing UK rights and weakening Europe but it’s not even subtle ! They might have well just said the spaghetti space monster was responsible for it

Seriously journalists and interviewers need to get a fecking grip and keep questioning the bullshit he spouts.
He´s all fun and games when hes given free reign to talk shit but the slightest pushback and he gets rattled so sort it out and keep pressing him and all of his party for gods sake.
A few public meltdowns by him and his kind would not be a bad thing.

Surely the shyster is just picking on any area and spouting nonsense about it, just to get column inches and media coverage. That, or he doesn’t understand, or care to understand, what the f*ck he’s talking about.
Probably both.

People talking about DEI and shit here are clearly not getting his point here, his fans that are terminally unemployed will just see this as him saying “immigrants are taking your jobs” yet again it’s just more of the same rhetoric they already believe.

It feels like Reform are deliberately employing that Trump thing of saying so much bullshit that it’s hard for any single “controversy” to stick.

I’ve literally heard “only get CVs from women or minorities” at my job for my team so “equality” directives are harmful to white men.
