We have failed white boys, Lord Sewell to tell Starmer
The Telegraph ^ | 21 March 2026 | Charles Hymas

Posted on 03/21/2026 3:48:32 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Britain has failed white working-class boys, who remain the worst-performing group in England’s schools, Lord Sewell will tell Sir Keir Starmer this week.

The Tory peer, the author of a report on race and ethnic disparities, will say the group is still stuck at the bottom of the class after successive governments ignored his warnings.

In 2021, after the Black Lives Matter movement, Lord Sewell was asked by Boris Johnson to chair an inquiry by 10 commissioners, all but one of whom were from ethnic minorities.

Their 250-page report said the biggest drivers of disparities were not race but class, geography and family stability, with the white working-class group doing worst.

Research published this weekend by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) showed that little had changed, with white British boys on free school meals more likely to fail GCSE English and maths, most likely to be excluded from school and least likely to stay on in education after 16.

Speaking on the fifth anniversary of the report, Lord Sewell said: “Five years ago, we were told by the woke Left and liberal Right that the evidence on class and family was uncomfortable. Since then, this evidence has only hardened.

“Our report set out clearly that racism still persists, and we should confront it wherever it is found. But we also said something else – the main drivers of unequal outcomes are class, geography and family stability, not race alone.

“White working-class boys from the poorest homes are still stuck at the bottom of the class. Our warnings were not listened to. If we are serious about opportunity, we have to stop arguing about language and start delivering change in the places that need it most.”

They’re hardly failing.

They didn’t fail Klaus over at the World Economic Forum or fail CCP China who they want to model their new totalitarian digital surveillance prison state after.

They didn’t fail Satan, who needs to raise up his anti-Christ spirit over the entire world for the last days.

The left has continued to suppress normal, white, Christian males. It has persisted long enough to push them all the way to the bottom. It would take 20 years to turn the damage around. The failed generation won't be succeeding in school, business or life...or generating more children.

One of the main reasons that the masculinity of males has been under attack, to have them mistrust and fight instincts endowed by nature to them for the preservation of the species, is so the countries can be successfully invaded and overthrown by foreigners.

What is going on just now would have been impossible just a generation or two ago. Impossible.

The H1B program is designed to disempower white men.

Starmer would feed poor white boys to the Muslims if they asked him to.

“Only two in 10 poor white children live with married parents today, compared with almost six in 10 among poor children in non-white families. Growing up in a stable two-parent household predicts life chances more strongly than many of the characteristics dominating modern equality debates.”

That’s astounding. The percentages in America are between 20-40% (the highest percentage is American Indian). https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/cps/tables/time-series/historical-poverty-people/hstpov2.xlsx

I DO know that in Europe, cohabitation is more prevalent than actual marriage.

Well DUH!
Minorities can’t cut it, so reduce the
standards and lock out the white
guys from all the basics!
That is equality to a liberal.
Look at it this way, There are more
collage/University degrees given out to
women than men these days.

“Women earn the majority of college degrees in the U.S. at all levels. Recent data indicates women earn approximately 58–59% of bachelor’s degrees and 62–63% of associate and master’s degrees. Among adults aged 25–34, roughly 47% of women hold a bachelor’s degree, compared to 37% of men. “

Lets parse the down a bit how many women
get STEM degrees compared the men?
“Women earn approximately 35% of STEM degrees globally. In the United States, while women earn about 50% of bachelor’s degrees when including social and behavioral sciences, that share drops to roughly 38% in “traditional” STEM fields (engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physical sciences).

It’s already happening. They’re barely maintaining the navy that they have.

Not following Christ’s command to ‘love the least of thee is to love Me’ Is at the root of all this.

🧐 You can begin by ending it against whites. 🤔

Who knows if they will ever solve the problem, but does anyone wonder why white guys go Galt?

Straight, white Christian males are not only at the bottom in Britain but in this country as well. In all forms of media, government and everywhere else, white men are relegated to being outcasts who meekly take whatever insults and slings are sent our way. Is it any wonder society is in free fall?
