Farage faces racism claims from ex-classmates

Farage faces racism claims from ex-classmates

Twenty-five former pupils and one teacher from Dulwich College have signed an open letter demanding Nigel Farage apologise for alleged racist and antisemitic behaviour during his school years from 1975-1982. The signatories, including filmmaker Peter Ettedgui, claim Farage intimidated Jewish pupils with gas chamber references, told a Black child to return to Africa, and chanted racist songs. Reform UK dismissed the allegations as fifty-year-old smears and a desperate witch hunt by political opponents seeking to discredit Farage.
