What happens when the people told they are privileged become the very people society leaves behind?In SECOND CLASS, a provocative and uncompromising examination of modern Britain, the author challenges the political establishment’s obsession with diversity, equality and inclusion, asking whether the pursuit of fairness has created a new generation of forgotten citizens.From education and employment to social housing, immigration, policing and criminal justice, this explosive book argues that White working-class Britons are increasingly disadvantaged by institutions supposedly committed to equality.Drawing on official statistics, controversial cases and uncomfortable questions, it exposes what the author sees as glaring double standards, political hypocrisy and a growing reluctance to confront the consequences of government policy.Why are struggling White children labelled privileged? Why are young men demonised? And why does equality appear to mean different things depending on who is demanding it?Outspoken, confrontational and unapologetically direct, SECOND CLASS challenges readers to question everything they have been told about privilege, discrimination and fairness in twenty-first-century Britain, and demands answers from those in power.
