Banter in schools was like Jay from Inbetweeners. There was no bantz with that one kid who banged on about communism or nazis.

Garbage story and just a smear. 50 years ago this supposedly happened, only saying stuff now. Total bullshit.

Those reunions have got to be awkward.
But yeah, if loads of your classmates come out 50 years after you were in school claiming you’re an asshole, I tend to believe them.

Lots of people make mistakes at school, but we grow up and move on, and hopefully our peers forgive our youthful indiscretions.
But we don’t make careers out it.

It’s awkward for Farage as he can’t come out and say he made mistakes but was young and is a changed person who abhors racism as 1) that is patently not true and 2) for a large part of his base, the racism is the point.
The problem is for another part of his base, cheering on Hitler at school is not going to play well given that standing up to the Nazis has been entwined in this country’s national identity for the last 70 years.

So that’s it? All they have on Farage is he may or may not have said something as a child.
