1/23 Sorry, this will be long... There is a lot of shouting about what happened in the Channel yesterday. So I want to go back to basic law. Not immigration policies or political rhetoric. At sea, the starting point is simple: Preservation of life comes first under all maritime conventions.

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

Get children to empty their trays, fill them with cold water and put their feet in them under their desks. Important note: I’ve never tried this myself and it has the potential to be carnage. It was passed on by a colleague who said it was a good idea!

A shirtless white man, in the street with a knife in his hand, having attacked and wounded five people, allegedly shouting anti-Muslim slogans is the sixth story on the BBC UK news page. There is absolutely no doubt at all this would be the lead story if attacker and intended victims were reversed.

School attendance staff bear a huge safeguarding responsibility and to suggest they’re abdicating this for certain families based on race is abhorrent. 4/4

Vicky Smith for Bengeo @vickysmith.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
More than that though, it’s the latest attempt to whip up a political storm at the expense of education staff. At a time when Farage knows perfectly well that the atmosphere around this topic is febrile. Utterly irresponsible.

Vicky Smith for Bengeo @vickysmith.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
There are a vast number of reasons why children can slip into persistent absenteeism (below 90%) and in many cases this is the first sign of possible safeguarding issues which schools must actively monitor and investigate. To suggest this doesn’t happen for white working class families is nonsense.

Not for the first time, Nigel Farage has no idea what he’s talking about. I work in school attendance and I see we’re the latest people he’s accusing of anti-white prejudice. Schools have a duty to address all attendance issues. That has to be done on a case by case basis.

Two in five white working-class pupils miss school once a fortnight. Some 40% of these pupils are
"persistently absent". White working-class kids are being let down.
We constantly hear of "systemic inequality" and
"disadvantages", but never are these terms applied to white working-class children. In this culture of anti-white prejudice, it is assumed that these kids are in fact advantaged.
Nothing could be further from the truth. It is clear that our system has left these children behind. Despite the assumptions of our political class, many of them are not benefitting from the fruits of our education system.
Reform is the only party that sees these children. This is because we want every child to succeed regardless of their ethnicity.
Two-tier Britain has ignored this problem for too long.
Reform is here to fix it.

I have to say, listening to the Today programme dedicate an entire (context free) section about whether migrants are more likely to be convicted criminals *the morning after* hundreds of non-migrants of my own ethnicity committed a pogrom is blood boiling.

I'm so fatigued by all of this. None of it feels good. None of it feels useful. Our politics has been completely subsumed by the post-Zuckerberg digital disinfo-commentariat sphere that it's tantamount to a spectator sport, designed for maximum clicks, not governance.

The tale of every single last Reform-led council so far is them discovering that there is no secret Net Zero Department for Pronouns that accounts for 45% of council budgets, panicking, ordering an entire budget surplus worth of flags, and then falling apart in acrimony.

Embracing racism is not a way to restore pride, it’s a way to restore racism. It’s not a path to glory, it’s a path to repressed shame and having to lie to yourself, ever more desperately, about who you’ve become.
