Police Diversity Training Used Images of Farage and White People in Chains
13th June 2026
Police officers were given anti-racism training featuring clips of Nigel Farage and an image of white people in chains and black people holding guns, The Times can reveal.
Training material seen by The Times shows the mandatory session, delivered to officers and staff at North Yorkshire police, was linked to the Police Race Action Plan and asked officers to reflect on “what anti-racism means” to them personally and professionally.
A serving officer who attended said trainers showed an image reversing the racial roles of slavery and asked officers to imagine how they would feel if they had been taught that version of history at school.
