This must be the most outrageous example of Farage's racist bullying. A 17-year-old Farage bullying a 9-year-old lad – NINE – for being black, and even waiting at the school gate to heap more abuse on the little lad.
What an absolute f***ing scumbag.
Deeply shocking, even by 1970s standards.

But, Farage didn't confine his racism to his youth. Here are a couple of screenshots from the Guardian reporting him using racist language in 1999, long after it ceased to be commonplace.
