Is Nigel Farage a Changed Man?

Clive Lewis MP

Recent revelations about Nigel Farage’s past racism merely confirm what some of us have suspected for years. Others will be hearing these allegations for the first time.

A steady stream of former Dulwich College classmates have described Farage’s behaviour in the form of Nazi salutes, chants, antisemitic slurs aimed at Jewish pupils, and racist taunts targeted at anyone who was not white. Some recall him saying “Hitler was right” or making jokes about gas chambers. Others simply describe a pattern of persistent abuse.

These are not new concerns. A teacher’s letter from the early 1980s warned school authorities that the teenage Farage should not be made a prefect because of what she called his “racism” and “fascism”.
