In a united challenge to the Reform UK leader, the alleged victims and witnesses condemn him for what they describe as his refusal to acknowledge his behaviour at Dulwich college.

They also criticise him for saying their allegations about his past behaviour are politically motivated. “The accusation … is false,” the letter states.

They call for Farage, who has denied “directly” targeting anyone with racist or antisemitic abuse or having “intent” to hurt anyone, to publicly recognise the events described.

 

Among those who made claims in a Guardian investigation published on 18 November were Peter Ettedgui, a Bafta- and Emmy-winning director, who is Jewish.

He alleged that a teenage Farage would sidle up to him and say “Hitler was right” and “gas them”, sometimes adding a long hiss to simulate the sound of the gas chambers.

 

Others have claimed that Farage would sing songs about gassing minority ethnic people, chant the name of the British fascist leader Oswald Mosley and express his dismay at the number of Patels in the school. They write: “We have recalled the verbal abuse you regularly directed at a number of pupils of Jewish, Black and Asian heritage; as well as loudly and proudly proclaiming your high regard for fascist leaders and organisations, from Hitler to Mosley, from the Nazis to the National Front.

 

Nigel Farage told to apologise by 26 of his school contemporaries

 

 

The signatories to the letter also challenge the claim that they have only spoken out now because Reform is leading in the national polls.

They write: “This is not true. You must know this is not the first time a number of us have contributed individually to accounts of you at Dulwich.

“Examples include a 2013 Channel 4 News bulletin; a 2016 report in El País titled ‘Hitler was Right’; an open letter published in the Independent in 2019; and a 2022 biography of you by Michael Crick.”

 

Someone / body are getting worried and desperate. Looks like at least 26 people are still wed to the old 2 party system in the UK.

Were they "worried and desperate" in 2013, 2016, 2019 and 2022, @DaLa?

UK's very own Trump, but more articulate.

And taking "donations" from Putin, just like his pal it seems.

Then why the difficulty in simply apologizing?

Farage the school boy antisemite and racist who grew up but can’t man-up.

 

 

    He has denied the allegations, so, there's no need for him to apologise
