Overview
- More than 20 former Dulwich classmates have reported racist and antisemitic conduct, including Peter Ettedgui’s account of being told “Hitler was right” and “Gas them.”
- Farage said he never made racist remarks “with malice,” read letters from former pupils defending him, and suggested recollections “may vary.”
- He accused the BBC of double standards over past programming and said he will not engage with the broadcaster without an apology.
- Reform deputy Richard Tice called the allegations “made-up twaddle,” prompting condemnation from political opponents and Jewish figures.
- The political fallout widened as Labour and the Conservatives criticized Farage’s handling of the claims, and Scotland’s First Minister labeled separate comments about Glasgow schoolchildren “simply racist.”
