Nigel Farage is facing calls for an apology over allegations of racism during his time at a prestigious private school, according to the Prime Minister. The leader of Reform UK has denied the accusations dating back 49 years, asserting that he never intended to racially offend anyone in a derogatory manner.
Former classmates from Dulwich College in south London claimed that Farage made pro-Hitler remarks, joked about gas chambers, and reportedly punished a student based on their skin color. Keir Starmer has joined the chorus urging Farage to apologize, accusing him of trying to evade accountability for past actions.
In response to queries about Reform’s policies affecting working families, Starmer criticized Farage’s dismissive approach to addressing the racism allegations. The Prime Minister highlighted concerns over Reform’s impact on families, emphasizing the need for Farage to acknowledge and make amends for his past behavior.
Allegations from individuals who attended the same school as Farage have surfaced, detailing disturbing incidents where he allegedly expressed support for Hitler and made offensive remarks mimicking gas chambers. Despite denials from a Reform UK spokesperson, multiple accounts have emerged describing Farage’s involvement in questionable activities during his school years.
When questioned by ITV about racial misconduct, Farage reiterated his denial of racially abusing peers while clarifying the timeline of the allegations. He emphasized his commitment to never engaging in discriminatory behavior with harmful or disrespectful intentions.
