Farage's Racism Denials Slated by Ex-Classmate's Claims

I did mention the number of people, in my original comment.

 

Yes more than 20 former Dulwich pupils have now given similar accounts. However:

All are 45–50-year-old memories with zero contemporaneous records (no letters, detentions, or complaints from the 1970s exist).

Roughly half the witnesses remain anonymous.

Most came forward only after Reform UK overtook the Conservatives in 2024–2025 polls.

Farage was made a prefect, which required staff approval and a clean record at the time.

 

Long-term memory research shows even honest recollections this old are highly fallible and prone to distortion.

 

Large numbers of consistent anecdotes are journalistically significant but remain anecdotal, not corroborated evidence. In any legal or formal disciplinary setting, the claims would still fall far short of proof.

 

 

 

 

Farage said his victims cannot possibly remember that he bullied them after so long, yet he remembers that he did not bully them after the same time interval. I can assure you that bullied people often remember their experiences all their lives. Bullies easily forget theirs.

  • @EastBayRay Nonsense. Nothing is too small where an accusation of antisemitism is concerned. Hang him high.

Don't worry Jonny, you have shown our colours for years already. You endure Jews because your master in the US supports them, but you forget he only does that for financial interests.

 

No, Trump does not "support" jews. rather he treats them the equally.  The reality for Trump was that when he was growing up, his father despite the stereotypes of Germans, was not particularly biased against them and did business with them.   Donald entered into multiple joint ventures with jewish partners over the years, and when he suffered his bankruptcies and setbacks, most of them stayed with him and didn't abandon him. Donald Trump has a good memory for those who are loyal. It's old school, when business was made based upon relationships.  Donald Trump's key investors are from the Gulf states and now which puts  your financial interests claim to rest.

    One of the very few UK politicians supporting Israel , giving his full support to Israel ...................and you're trying to portray him as an Anti Semite .

   You really need to stop falsely accusing people , thats three false accusations in two days 

 

Mr. Farage's support for Israel is tepid at best and is motivated in large part by his concern for the UK's future as extreme leftists aligned with the Islamic activists in the Pakistani, Bengali and Arab communities seek to impose their social and political policies on the UK.  Mr. Farage's tactics are those of a bully. The stories of his school days confirm his behavior pattern. This should not be a surprise to anyone.  The fact that Labour is even worse is not an excuse.

 

Maybe Farage had an epiphany and realized that the jewish community in the UK is mostly assimilated  or intermarried and woven into the fabric of society and does not present a risk as does the expanding radical Islamic segment of the UK population. However, I doubt the man has changed. He has just become more careful with his words.

The comments have been substantiated and corroborated by multiple people, most of whom are not jewish and have no political motivation. Dig deeper into Farage's background and you will see that he is not a "good guy".  He has already admitted to making offensive comments.

    Nigel has moved on from his Left wing beliefs , the beliefs he had when he was at school  

 

Farage has never had "left wing" sentiments. He was a Conservative long before UKIP and Reform. This is a man who as a teenager was idolizing Enoch Powell.

 

The UK is doomed if its political options are Reform or Labour.

Jonny attempts to deflect from the corroborated account of Farage’s obscene antisemitism.


Perhaps imitating the sound of gas hissing towards a Jew who lost family in the Holocaust is something that you find acceptable behavior in those whose political views you support.
 

 

 

"One of the most vivid memories of my school life is Farage repeatedly coming up to me and, knowing that I was Jewish, saying Hitler was right and 'gas 'em', and that was frequently followed by a 'sssss', you know, kind of imitating the sound of escaping gas.

"That's my abiding memory of him, and that sort of verbal abuse happened quite consistently over the year that we were together in the same class. 

"And it was pretty vicious, it was pretty nasty, it was absolutely directed in a very personal way at me."

He said Farage's words had "hit hard" because his grandparents had escaped Nazi Germany and much of their family had perished in the Holocaust. 

"It wasn't the normal sort of vaguely antisemitic banter that you might encounter in the school grounds at that time in the 1970s. It was much worse," he added.”

Labour , Liberal ,Green Party , Scots ,  Welsh and Northern Ireland political parties are all running scared of the Reform Party and they hope that throwing plenty of mud at Farage/ Reform , some will stick but the general public can see through this .Talk about clutching at straws and having to go back 50 years to demonize Farage is pathetic . As teenagers most of us did some stupid things , some I can recall but not all , until a pal reminded me . Passing from puberty to being mature can bring changes to your character and viewpoints .

Even last evening watching the UK Budget , Starmer had a dig at Reform councils which is wrong , given that there was no right of reply .

I agree with your premise about bullying.

The argument is psychologically intuitive — victims of bullying often carry vivid, emotionally charged memories for life, while perpetrators frequently minimize or forget their actions — but it does not resolve the evidential problem in this specific case.

Farage isn’t claiming perfect recall; he points to objective facts: no discipline record and his appointment as a prefect, both of which required staff approval at the time.

Research shows that even traumatic memories lose precise detail (words, frequency, context) after 40–50 years.
Most importantly: still zero documents, letters, detentions, or complaints from the 1970s exist.Sincere, painful memories are real, but without any contemporaneous evidence they remain uncorroborated testimony, not proven fact.
The psychological asymmetry explains why victims remember the hurt and Farage may not; it does not close the evidential gap.

Posters are saying it was x amount of years ago but so were the accusations of TV personalities committed of sex offences against young girls.

My half Thai son was constantly referred to as a 5l1tty eyed ch1nk. What kid hasn't been abused at school. Does that make it right, no. But do the schools do anything about it, no. 

Do I feel any sympathy for anybody who went to Dulwich College, a 2–18 private, day and boarding school for boys. Probably heaping all kinds of abuse on the working class masses now.

What I find sickening isn't the attacks on Reform per se it is the complete denial from Labour/Conservatives that they are perfect. Labour now wish to take away the right to a jury trial for nearly all cases, a right we have had since 1215. And it is not juries that are causing the chronic delays to the legal system. Just using that as an excuse to further erode our rights. What next, abolish elections?

Actually he said he doesn't think he did but he can't remember everything he said at school.

 

I have to say the sight of that 60 year old man Peter Ettedui tearing up about being called names at school, almost weeping, 5 decades later was pretty pathetic. Who wasn't called names at school? It's not like Farage did him dirty behind the bike sheds. Man up for god's sake. If that's the worse thing that even happened to you you've lived a blessed life.  

 

It's all politically motivated. The Guardian looking for dirt. I'd imagine their opening question was along the lines "So how often did that racist bigot Farage racially abuse you at school?". 😄

Exactly. Labour have a long proven and documented history of anti-semitism. 

 

And yes taking away jury trials is a disgrace and just allow politically biased judges to remove the opposition.

He claims the racist and antisemitic abuse he can’t remember was ‘banter’.

 

So yes he does remember and hides behind the excuse commonly used by bigots… ‘It was just banter’.

 

Except those on the receiving end and over a dozen witnesses say otherwise. 
 

Having adopted the ‘banter’ defense, the odious little toad them claims he’s being victimized.

 

Plays well to the grievance addicted.

If these accusations are indeed true and are of such severity that they remain as a painful memory to this day, one would assume that the affected pupils would have brought this to the attention of their parents at the time.

 

Given the nature of the complaints one would also have expected that the parents, seeing the impact such actions seemingly had on their children, especially having remained a painful memory for nearly fifty years, would have immediately raised a serious complaint with the school to have the matter dealt with at the time.

 

As no record exists, or even any indication that such complaints were made by the parents of the seemingly deeply affected children, one can only come to one conclusion......

 

Indeed, coming at a time when Reform are pulling away in the polling, from the rabble that remains of the 2 party ruling class, the timing of these incessant hit pieces from the likes of the Guardian and the insufferable Owen Jones can, again, only lead to one conclusion...... 

 

Running scared comes to mind.

Labour and the Conservatives must be crapping themselves so throwing dirt left right and centre in the hope that some sticks. Farage aside both parties have a lot to answer for and instead of addressing their own issues they are just hoping to discredit Reform.

100%....

 

Weaponising the stupid things someone said at school is absolutely pathetic.

 

Kids say awful, thoughtless stuff to each other - it’s part of growing up, not a reflection of their adult character.

 

Frankly, I’d be mortified if every idiotic thing I did as a teenager were dragged into the public eye today.

 

Back then, pinging a girl’s bra-strap was seen as mischievous; now it would cast me as some sort of misogynist brute. I even threw a few crude insults during fights that, if I were famous, might be paraded 35 years later by people desperate to jump on a bandwagon.

 

The fact your post racked up eighteen thumbs-down reactions says everything about how willingly people abandon common sense in favour of political point-scoring.

Whether you like Farage or loathe him, the reality is simple: foolish comments made by a juvenile idiot at school have no bearing whatsoever on his current beliefs or political mindset.

 

Anyone who pretends otherwise really isn’t very clever at all.

Nice try - but no cigar.  It's not 'nearly all cases' as the proposals (because thats all their are at this stage) are 'new courts would deal with most crimes currently considered by juries in Crown Court.' which already don't have juries. And VERY importantly doesn't include 'defendants facing rape, murder, manslaughter or other cases passing a public interest test.'

 

Currently the MoJ says Crown Courts are facing record backlogs with more than 78,000 cases waiting to be completed and many of these simply don't require a jury. This is a very good attempt to decrease this backlog (mostly from Covid) and get people justice quicker and more efficiently. To try and paint this as some erosion of human rights is just gaslighting at best, a severe misrepresentation of the facts at worst. I suspect the latter.

You keep trying to make out this is just the frivilous 'banter' of a 12 year old (he was 17 by the way when the accusations from his own teachers were made) as usual tries to brush over the many, many racist coments he has made over the years to include:-

  • 'In 2013, Farage said he supported Muslim immigrants who “integrate” into society, but not those who are “coming here to take us over”.
  • 'In 2014, he said that the “basic principle” of Enoch Powell’s infamous anti-immigration Rivers of Blood speech was correct.'
  • 'In a 2014 interview on LBC, Farage said he felt "uncomfortable" when he heard people speaking other languages on London transport.'
  • 'When LBC radio presenter James O’Brien asked why he objected to Romanian migrants but not Germans — like his Hamburg-born wife Kirsten — Farage retorted: "You know the difference."
  • 'That same year, Farage also blamed immigrants when he was more than two hours late for an event, claiming they were causing traffic on the M4. "That has nothing to do with professionalism," he said of his lateness. "What it does have to do with is a country in which the population is going through the roof, chiefly because of open-door immigration, and the fact the M4 is not as navigable as it used to be."
  • 'Two months later, he defended Ukip candidate Kerry Smith for using the word "ch**ky" to describe a Chinese person.'
  • 'Farage has been condemned by leading Jewish groups, such as the Board of Deputies, for using antisemitic-linked tropes - In 2017, Farage came under fire for antisemitism after an LBC interview in which he described the so-called US “Jewish lobby” as a concern of his. He has spoken of a "new world order" and the threat of a "globalist" government, often singling out Goldman Sachs and George Soros.'
  • 'Farage came under fire for his 2016 anti-immigration poster, which depicted a line of refugees, the majority of whom were non-white and male, under the slogan "breaking point".
