As much as I dislike Farage, this is a low brow way to critique him
We all said dumb stuff at school
Lets take on his policy rather than trying character deformation, rise above this

I’m quite sceptical on this tbh.
I feel like the Guardian have “stooped low” and found themselves a select few who are willing to say a few negative things about him decades later due to opposing political views.
It seems like a desperate attempt to change peoples opinion on him. This approach is a risky game, as it could very easily go the other way.

As much as I dislike Farage, I’m not going to judge him for what he said 40-50 years ago as a daft kid.
There’s plenty of modern stuff to judge him for.

Hope not Hate has been outing Farage as a fascist for years, and Farage even settled out of court when they sued him for libel.
There’s pretty good evidence of him being a proud fascist at Durham.

Yawn. I really don’t care. Incredibly desperate line of attack to go after something allegedly said 40-50 years ago.

Farage is 61 years old. Why are we hearing about what he may have said when he was 14.

This just comes across as pretty desperate for clicks.
Do they need to call him a nazi that badly that they’ll dig up some high school drama from half a century ago? With no evidence beyond “trust me bro I was there”?
He was 14. He is now 61. Come on now.

Hitler was right about one thing; he killed Hitler.

If we just keep throwing the racist and facism word at him, reform might just go away..

When me and my friends were 14 we used to say all sorts if disgusting things and then laugh about it, for shock value.
Children will say abhorrent things because they don’t comprehend the full magnitude of them, and they want shock value and attention.
Imagine the Daily Mail trotting out some unknown alleging Starmer said “Mao was right” when he was 14. It would be pretty pathetic, and so is this.

The Guardian are seriously barking up the wrong tree here. Engage with what he says now, not what he allegedly said fifty years ago.
