Nigel Farage appears to equate Alf Garnett - a satirical 70s character intended to lampoon racists - with hissing "Hitler was right" to boys at school. I wonder if he's missing the point www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/uki...
Farage’s attack on the BBC tells us who he really is

Good analogy “attacking American companies over garbage”.

This is why it really matters that Farage is challenged on his racism, and why govt is so irresponsible to have endorsed the ‘legitimate concerns’ lie, instead of roundly rejecting intolerance and insisting on an honest and decent approach to immigration policy.

In 1981, a teacher tried to block him from a prefect role due to his fascism.
Another remembers him shouting Hitler songs during a cadet camp.
