Is this “revelation” meant to lose him support from his already racist base? They will love him more for it.
Really don’t think this is going to have the impact they are hoping for.
Farage is not trump. Trump would fight fire with fire. He would attack everyone. And maga would take their cue and back him.
That won’t work with Farage. He’s on his own.
Really interesting that he finds so many different ways to avoid denying it. Almost as if he knows there’s worse, or maybe even proof, yet to come out.
Once again Farage, where did the money come from for your girlfriend to buy the house in Clacton?
Was it from kissing Putins arse?
> “No. This is 49 years ago by the way, 49 years ago. Have I ever tried to take it out on any individual on the basis of where they’re from? No.” Asked to categorically state that he did not racially abuse fellow pupils at school, he said: “I would never, ever do it in a hurtful or insulting way.”
> The interviewer said: “That’s not quite the same as not doing it.” Mr Farage retorted: “It’s 49 years ago. It’s 49 years.” Asked what difference that made, he said: “I had just entered my teens. Can I remember everything that happened to school? No, I can’t. Have I ever been part of an extremist organisation or engaged in direct, unpleasant personal abuse, genuine abuse on that basis? No.”
Odd response. It didn’t happen… but also it was 49 years ago… but also he would never racially abuse someone quote *in a hurtful or insulting way* unquote… but also he can’t remember if he said it.
That’s like four distinct excuses wrapped up in as many sentences. Like Boris Farage has benefited from having a press wing who consistently threw him softballs, but who crumbles under even a modicum of actual pressure or sustained questioning.
He’s obviously Racist.
Ask him about taking Russian bribes.
His supporters are responding “we all did back then” which is not true. I’m just a few years younger than Farage and went to a comprehensive in Essex. Racist jokes were common but his comments were directed to hurt individuals. Straight forward out and out racism which was clearly unacceptable even then.
So the man definitely did throw Nazi salutes at school and then hung with antisemites, joined in antisemitic conspiracy theories, continued courting Musk after he threw Nazi salutes, addressed the AfD….yeah I sense a theme here, and rhymes with acist unt.
Casual racism is still racism, and who is to say it wasn’t hurtful? That’s for a victim to say if it was.
So he can’t remember what he did 49 years ago but knows he didn’t do it in a “hurtful” manner? Bullshit
He dont like hard questions. Normally he gets a easy time on GBnews.
Very peculiar rebuttal. He’s churlish and bratty under scrutiny.
Also worth reflecting that this would have been 1976 when the generation who participated in and lost friends and family in the war were very much alive and active members of society. Sieg heiling your way around school and glazing Hitler would be viewed as abhorrent now but back then would be utterly reviled given the country and its people still bearing scars left by him.
