In a fiery and combative interview on TalkTV, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage detailed his intense clash with fellow Members of Parliament over the concept of âtwo-tier policing,â describing the House of Commons as a âbear pitâ where roughly 600 MPs turned against him.
Farageâs remarks come amid escalating national tensions surrounding law enforcement practices, the tragic death of Henry Novak, and accusations of institutional bias within British policing.

The âBear Pitâ Clash
Speaking exclusively to TalkTV, Farage recounted the hostility he faced in Parliament after raising concerns about policing double standards. âIt wasnât just the Prime Minister. About 600 of them seemed to be screaming at me,â Farage stated, comparing the hostility to his most combative days in the European Parliament .
Farage claimed the establishmentâs outrage stems from his refusal to self-censor on controversial topics. âThey were screaming and frothing at the mouth⊠because weâre not supposed to tell the truth. Weâre not supposed to say thereâs two-tier policing⊠never allowed to say thereâs anti-white racism that has now been built into the police,â he argued.
Despite the parliamentary pushback, Farage remains confident that public opinion is on his side. He quoted veteran Unionist MP Gregory Campbell, who reportedly told him after the session: âYouâve lost the house, but Iâve no doubt youâve won the countryâ .
âPure Cold Rageâ and Media Bias
The Reform UK leader also addressed the recent controversy surrounding his characterization of the publicâs mood following Henry Novakâs death as âpure cold rage.â Farage revealed he had received a formal apology from the BBC after a presenter misquoted him as saying âwhite cold rageâ .
Defending his phrasing, Farage explained: âHot rage means you go set fire to something. Cold rage means you simmer with it, but you try and find some way of making it betterâ. He criticized the mainstream media, particularly the BBC, accusing them of a âvery casual attitude towards journalismâ and an ingrained institutional bias that attempted to frame his comments as racially motivated .
Scrapping Diversity Training and Reforming Police
During the interview, Farage directed blistering criticism at the structural foundations of modern British policing, specifically targeting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. When asked if diversity training schemes need to be scrapped, Farage was unequivocal: âThe whole lot. This is where the poison startsâ .
He relayed anecdotes from serving and ex-police officers who allegedly fear being accused of racism more than failing to prevent violent crimes. Farage warned that positive discrimination is leading to a âlower caliber and quality of people policingâ and pledged that, if elected, a Reform UK government would introduce a âgenuine equality actâ within months, emphasizing integration and merit-based advancement .
A Call for Equal Remembrance
The interview concluded with a pointed comparison between the political establishmentâs reaction to the death of George Floyd in 2020 and the recent death of Henry Novak. TalkTV highlighted that while MPs and the Prime Minister âtook the kneeâ and held a minuteâs silence for Floyd , there has been no equivalent gesture for Novak.
When asked if Parliament should hold a minuteâs silence for Novak, Farage agreed, stating that true equality demands equal treatment . However, when asked if he would âtake the kneeâ for Henry, Farage firmly replied: âI donât take the knee for anybody. Iâll stand and bow my headâ .
