Nick Buckley MBE’s comments about Anthony Joshua’s car accident in Nigeria didn’t just spark outrage — they exposed something far more unsettling about the state of racism in Britain today. When a white public figure with a platform can respond to accusations of racism by laughing and declaring that “no one cares about being called racist anymore,” it signals a shift that should worry every Black person in this country. It suggests that for some, the social cost of racism has evaporated. The shame has gone. The mask has slipped. And the confidence to say the quiet part out loud has grown bolder than ever.
What makes this moment even more painful is who the target is. Anthony Joshua isn’t just any athlete; he is one of the most recognizable British sports figures of his generation. Every time he steps into the ring, he carries the Union Jack on his shoulders. He wins for Britain. He loses for Britain. He represents Britain.
Yet in a moment where he could have lost his life, a British activist chose not empathy, not humanity, but an opportunity to mock his Nigerian heritage and frame his survival as some kind of lesson in “gratitude.” It’s a reminder that for some people, Black Britishness is always conditional — celebrated when convenient, discarded when uncomfortable.
A heartbreaking loss: Two of Anthony Joshua’s close friends, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele, died in a crash on 29 December 2025.
Buckley’s remarks didn’t emerge in a vacuum. As the founder of the anti‑immigration Advance UK party, he has a history of statements that have drawn public criticism around race and migration. So when he used Joshua’s accident to reinforce a narrative of British superiority over “third world” nations, many saw it as part of a familiar pattern.

What truly ignited the backlash — over 1,400 replies and counting — was the way his words tapped into a deeper national tension. The UK is still wrestling with who gets to be considered fully British, whose heritage is respected, and whose humanity is acknowledged without conditions.
Nick Buckley was removed from his position at The Mancunian Way, the charity he founded, after he published an article critical of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.
For Black people, the sting comes from knowing how much we have contributed to this country — culturally, economically, creatively, athletically — and how often that contribution is overlooked or dismissed. To hear a public figure laugh off accusations of racism in 2025 feels like confirmation of a truth many have sensed for years: racism hasn’t disappeared; it has simply become more comfortable in the daylight. And moments like this force us to confront a painful reality.

Even when we give our talent, our labour, our culture, and in Joshua’s case, our victories to this nation, acceptance is still not guaranteed. That is the real story behind this controversy, and it’s one Britain can no longer afford to ignore.
Buckley thinks it makes him a man to toot his racist horn, in this century - it just shows a lack of intelligence and significance. Anything to feel important when you are just a weak pathetic man.
