It is time to consign the Equality Act 2010 to the dustbin of history.

Not even George Orwell created such a double-speak law in his dystopian 1984, one capable of giving birth to an Anti-Racism Commitment which meant not treating everyone ‘the same’ or being ‘colour blind’. It is this topsy-turvy view of equality that was the midwife to a politically correct Police mindset, which culminated in officers ignoring the dying pleas of a white multiple-stab victim, Henry Nowak, because his murderer had accused him of being racist.

This piece of legislation was implemented in the dying days of the Blair/Brown era, their final landmine before leaving office. Only one MP spoke out against this law, and that happened to be Philip Davies, who described it as “250 pages of gobbledygook which would not enshrine equality in the law but rather would reintroduce discrimination”.

Oh, how he was vilified at the time by the left and the Blair-loving media, for daring to question legislation called Equality. Damming him as a homophobic, sexist Neanderthal. The truth is, he’d read the Act and hadn’t been duped by the title. Labour’s particularly good at mis-selling its legislation, take its recent Employment Rights Act, already being nicknamed the Unemployment Act.

The Equality Act 2010 was pushed through by a bunch of human rights activists – remember Tony Blair’s wife Cherie was also a fully paid-up member of that fraternity. This Act was a godsend for them, providing a never-ending stream of work and pay cheques. It also kick-started the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion industry, now valued at $15bn globally and creating all sorts of spurious courses from white privilege to unconscious bias. And as ‘equality’ had now been embedded into UK law, these courses became compulsory in Parliament and Government and a regular part of businesses’ annual reports.

Irrespective of Labour leader, flip-flop Burnham or Guinness World Record Holder of U-turns Starmer, Labour won’t get rid of it. The party is still stuffed with Human Rights lawyers and Harriet Harman, one of its main advocates back in 2010, has just returned to the heart of Government, and when asked, David Lammy, the gormless Justice Secretary and Labour Deputy Prime minister said he would not take the knee for Nowak although he did for George Floyd – showing his party is not ‘colour blind’ and has clearly learned nothing from this outrage.

Rather, Labour is currently expanding the Equality Act’s reach, making it part of its Employment Rights reforms and requiring employers to allow unionised staff to take part in diversity programmes during working hours. Worse, Bridget Phillipson, the Education Secretary, is determined to push these hard-left, anti-racism theories into schools through her curriculum changes, creating EDI plus.

Henry Nowak’s legacy must be to remove the insanity of anti-white racist policies in our institutions in the UK – something that has been allowed to grow like a cancer for 15 years. This has to be a watershed moment.
