Local councils across Britain are offering employment schemes exclusively to ethnic minorities, sparking criticism of “two-tier” policies.

PULSE POINTS

❓ WHAT HAPPENED: White British jobseekers are being excluded from taxpayer-funded employment schemes, which are available only to ethnic minorities.📰 DETAIL: In Sheffield, a $462,000 employment support project aimed at helping economically inactive ethnic minorities into work is funded in part through the Department for Work and Pensions’ Economic Inactivity Trailblazer program and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, while similar initiatives in Greater Manchester provide “culturally appropriate” employability support, including CV workshops and mentoring, for BAME (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) residents. In Scotland, Labour-run North Lanarkshire Council restricted some business growth support programs to black and minority ethnic entrepreneurs. Critics, including the TaxPayers’ Alliance and the campaign group Don’t Divide Us, described the schemes as discriminatory and evidence of a “two-tier” system, arguing public funds should be available to all jobseekers regardless of race. The programs are lawful under equality legislation and are intended to address higher unemployment rates among ethnic minorities, currently 8.8 percent compared with 4.3 percent among white people.💬 KEY QUOTE: “Taxpayers should not be funding schemes that exclude people because of their race.” – William Yarwood, TaxPayers’ Alliance🎯 IMPACT: The controversy comes amid wider scrutiny of diversity policies following the murder of Henry Nowak and subsequent debates over differential treatment based on race in public institutions. Critics argue that these schemes create a “two-tier” system and undermine public confidence by excluding the white majority.
