Corbyn wasn’t much better. His suggestion of sending a sample of it back to Moscow to see if they recognised it was particularly on brand for him.

Gist of Farage’s Alf Garnett rant is the grievance: ok, it happened, but why am I the only one held to 2020s norms over what I was like in 1977-81

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

A friend of mine, aged about 4, having been told by her mum that if all she ate was sweets then she’d get a big belly, greeted a very pregnant lady on the bus with the words “I know what YOU have been doing!”

This was hard for her mum to explain on several levels.

Not for the first time, I’m being told that attacking Farage for his boyhood racism is futile. The opposite is the case, as you can see from how rattled he is by it.

And no, it’s not about persuading Farage fans anything, it’s about mobilising the non-voters and encouraging tactical voting.

Nigel Farage declines to endorse Richsrd Tice's claim that the recollections of 20+ of Farage's school contemporaries of his teenage racial slurs are "made up twaddle" and instead suggests he may boycott the BBC until it apologises for Alf Garnett!

Alan Sked has alleged Farage used various n-word slurs in 1997, aged 33, not 13 or 17. It would be useful to get a categorical denial or a more equivocal one to be clear about what Farage in 2025 is saying & denying about his use of racial insults as so-called "banter" & when that had ended

Labours position appears to be that being ever nastier to immigrants will eventually turn this round. Stop for a moment and ask yourself whether that could ever be the case.

Because, you see, buying influence is only a worry if a Labour peer donates a couple of "freebie" outfits to close friends. When a man, whose business is literally DARK MONEY, single-handedly rescues a near-bankrupt far-right party, leading in the polls, he's doing it because he believes in Nige.

All corporate CEOs should understand: If you agree to attend an event at the White House, you are very likely to be filmed nodding appreciatively at a delusional racist rant. If you're ok with that, go. If not, you probably should stay away.
