Three more school contemporaries who claim to have witnessed Nigel Farage’s alleged teenage racism have rejected the Reform UK leader’s suggestion that it was “banter”, describing it as targeted, persistent and nasty.
One former pupil, Stefan Benarroch, claimed that people emerging from a Jewish assembly at Dulwich college had been in the sights of Farage and others for taunts while a second, Cyrus Oshidar, described as “rubbish” the claim that the Reform leader did not act with intent to hurt.

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

Immensely moving share of family tragedy suffered by Otto during Covid..
It resonates as my OH’s aunt who lived alone begged us to come in for tea as we dropped shopping (safe distance & masked). We wavered.. but it wasn’t “safe”
She died suddenly alone a few days later.. meanwhile Tories Partied❗️

Just seen the times headline that Margaret Thatcher was alleged to have had 2 affairs. I don’t have a times subscription, so I’m going out on a limb and guessing they come from a group of Airey Neave; Cecil Parkinson; Alan Clark; Ronald Reagan. It’s pretty unthinkable either way. 😧

It would be terribly unfortunate if this got shared absolutely everywhere.
1/ This speech made by Farage in September 2014, after Russia's first invasion of Ukraine, is a stream of Russian propaganda lies that could have come from Lavrov's mouth.

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

Brexit broke Britain.
And Nigel Farage is benefitting from the wreckage.
This was always my greatest fear with Brexit - that it would bring about stagnant conditions that favour extreme populism.
Much like drug addiction causes crashes that make the drug more seductive.
