A liar and grifter caught lying and grifting.
Colour me surprised.
Condemned as in, with consequences?
Or as in some meaningless words that just about make a headline?
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…
Facts don’t matter to this lot, just how something makes you feel.
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??
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.
Britain isn’t broken …the system is..,the system that politicians and such like systematically use to feather their own nests!
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
If this prick told me the sky was blue, I would have to look out the window to check
Source: deano down the flat roofed pub who managed to get on the disability because a telehandler ran over his foot on site in 1998 and hasn’t worked since despite being fit for work.
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.
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.
“Condemned” – yeah that’ll surely happen… I am sick to fcking death of all these RW grifting PoSs being given a free pass by our media.
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.
He doesn’t care because just by saying it the damage is done and the claim will be repeated by those whose agenda it fits
Quell surprise. Farage, notorious for lying and creating flare narratives to progress racist agendas, is found to have lied to create a narrative for racist agendas.
Yes because employers definitely don’t discriminate against women of fertile or menopausal age
There are plenty of examples of jobs/internships that require you to be of an ethnic minority. There are none, to my knowledge, that require you to be white (because of the Equality Act)
Ergo there have obviously been at least a few white men who have lost out because of this. It might be a handful but it doesn’t make it untrue
so, he wants to get rid of the Equality Act, the ECHR, the Human Rights Act and work from home as well as all Employment protections
Tell me how he represents the working people again?
So, basically his claim is that without the equality act, white people would be more qualified or “better” than people of colour? What an absolute sack of shit.
My wife has to deal with crap like this. She’s black and constantly self doubts because she doesn’t know if she got the job to “fill a quota” or because she’s good.
Well, her work is stellar. Second to none in her dept (I’ve seen the other work!), and she got the job for her skill. Regardless of the EA.
All this kind of shit does is make people of colour self doubt, when they absolutely shouldn’t have to. It also indicates that people would rather hire white people, which is racist as hell!
unqualified white men are losing jobs to qualified people
As a white man, the equality act has helped me keep my job.
Just racism wrapped up in propaganda and fake politics to encourage naive Conservatives to vote for his grubby wannabe MAGA cult
