He’ll deny them and there will literally be no way to prove one way or the other.
Decent way for opposition to get political points, particularly given what we do know he’s said in the past, but not sure what anyone is expecting from this?

He doesn’t. He claims it was a long time ago and nobody has made an official accusation. Like when he was singing hitler youth songs
Seems like yesterday I’d have derided the PM for even bothering give this publicity as Farage wasn’t even important and had no real position in UK politics.
Unfortunately these days he’s effectively leader of the opposition.
I find it disturbing how keir is still protecting grooming gangs abusing children
Nigel is trying desperately to distance himself from any linkage to the far right, Tommy, NF etc etc to make him electable.
If you have minimal critical thinking abilities you believe every word he says. If you do have critical thinking abilities …
Wow, people are now being held to account for things they may or may not have said while at *school*? In that case, we’re probably all *really* screwed.
I don’t like Farage but the obsession with digging up dirt on people from when they were kids doesn’t sit right with me.
Classic Keith – look at a minority party not me or my parties shambolic 15 months in power.
The guy making the allegations has a wonderful memory to remember a song sung in a playground 40 or 50 years ago! I can’t remember all the slurs and insults kids chucked at each other when I was a kid!
Nigel Garage Sale is a wide tongued toff who needs to be getting his coat and fucking off, but this is silly.
One of the things about being a kid/youth is you make mistakes, you are often wrong. The thing about becoming an adult is you learn and get better.
I’m not suggesting his thinking had necessarily improved much, but there’s a good chance he’s moved on at least a bit.
If the soft handed posh boy is still saying this shit, then grind him, but otherwise, this is frankly ridiculous.
Most of the reform voters know he’s racist and will vote for him anyway, that’s what they’re voting for.
From his time at school to his time in UKIP, Farage has been repeatedly accused of racism by the people around him. He denies it every time. Farage always maintains that his accusers are liars.
Maybe the better question is how does he keep managing to surround himself with these liars? It doesn’t show great judgment does it?
This story perhaps the most desperate BS I ever seen. Pure gutter journalism.
Starmer / Labour desperate
The left really clutching at straws now they’re so worried about Farage. “Explain something you may or may not have said when you were at school”.
And of course, the high and mighty Redditors that have never said anything wrong in their life, are up in arms.
Plenty of stuff on the record to attack him over. There is no proof of any of this and never will be. He could sue for slander over this. It’s a daft tactic as it also plays into the “big brother” narrative of the state going after people for things said or tweeted in the distant past. I’m sure the left got annoyed every time anyone brought up Corbyn’s “friends in hezbollah” quote.
Pretty pointless and you’re also inviting reform to start going through social media posts of Labour MPs because what’s good for the goose etc.
You can’t prove or disprove this so it may as well not exist.
Just a tad pointless.
Its a cheap shot to take and is daft because there is simply no way to prove it happened. You could almost certainly find someone who went to school with Starmer who will say that he hit them. That doesn’t mean he is a violent thug but also its impossible to prove.
There is plenty to criticise Farage about that can be proven so rather silly to turn to what may have happened in school playgrounds half a century ago.
I don’t like Farage but Christ we all said some dumb shit at school/college/uni. It’s part of growing up.
I really hate this idea that what I thought when I was a teenager defines who I am for the rest of my life.
I have different thoughts about the world now, than I did 5/10 years ago, and the 5/10yrs before that and the 5/10 years before that. It’s called evolving as a person. When young you may not fully appreciate the gravity of what you are saying, but you learn and grow.
So while present day labour MPs are under scandal like Angela Raynor and Keir Starmer is considered the most unpopular MP of all time he thinks he has a serious argument by asking a 61 year old man about comments made when he was a child in school… embarrassing.
These accusations have been around for years. He apparently used to revel in the fact his initials were NF (national front) and there are dozens of people that went to school with him that have their own stories. Unfortunately, it’s all anecdotal evidence so he just call it all lies and plays the victim. Which is exactly what he will do again this time.
It’s almost like he always has been a racist piece of shit.
If there is a precedent set that we can now hold politicians accountable for things they were accused of as children, this could get VERY interesting. I’m actually excited to see what comes next
He was a teenager at high school for God sake!
99.9% of boys at secondary school are idiots. And that’s completely okay, that’s fine, because their brains are growing.
It’s been empirically cataloged and scientifically studied, so we know that boys behavior much more immaturely compared to girls, have riskier behavior and are more prone to left pressure.
Do you remember the stupid things the teenage boys did at your school?
The idiotic choices they made?
Because I do.
Lots of them.
Judging a 60 year old man, who leads a political party in parliament off what he said 45 years ago in a playground is pathetic.
Go Keir and let someone else have a go so we can see how long it will take for them to mess it up as well.
Keir, do you really think anyone in this country doesn’t actually think Farage isn’t a bigot?
Are you dumb?
If he loves Hitler so much he could do a coalition with Jeremy
A bit meaningless coming from Enoch Starmer. He doesn’t give a shit about racism. He just wants to score points.
This is such a weak smear campaign – almost everyone was saying stupid shit and acting a dickhead as a kid in school. It’s just not relevant today. Let’s judge him on what he says now – there is plenty to dislike about him currently rather than watering it down with things he said 40 years ago. Get a grip.
