Nigel Farage spoke for a nation (Image: Reform UK)
Far from whipping up racial tensions, Nigel Farage spoke for the nation when he called out the political class for its deafening silence at the racist death and treatment of white student Henry Nowak. If Labour and the Tories – in bed with an out of touch law and order establishment – hadn't created a two-tier justice system Farage wouldn't be able to 'whip up' anything to begin with.
Aside from writing to the Attorney General to review what seems to be an unduly lenient sentence, Reform UK is pledging to enact an Equal Treatment Act within the first 100 days of entering government. This would overturn progressive capture of policing and ensure equality before the law. It would ban Police Race Action Plans, eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices, and end the exemption for Sikhs to carry large bladed weapons.

Zia Yusuf, Reform’s Shadow Home Secretary, said Nowak's death late past year was "a direct result of police initiatives like the Hampshire Police Race Action Plan which trains officers to do this. A Reform government will pass an Equal Treatment Act, which will end two tier policing for good."
Reform says its plans will end so-called positive discrimination and anti-white racism in policing. Moreover, police will no longer need to make exceptions for the behaviour of minority groups. Under Reform, immigrants (and presumably all racial minorities) will receive no preferential treatment over whites.
