Overview
- Baroness Kishwer Falkner told Sky News she was confused by Nigel Farage’s response and said an unreserved apology would be the most genuine course if he is not racist.
- Recent coverage includes named accounts from former pupils describing antisemitic and racist remarks at Dulwich College, with The Guardian reporting around 28 former teachers and pupils came forward.
- Specific allegations include claims he praised Hitler, mocked gas chambers in song, and told a black classmate, according to Yinka Bankole, “that’s the way back to Africa.”
- Nigel Farage and Reform UK categorically deny the accusations, calling them politically motivated, with Farage saying he has never directly racially abused anyone and rejecting that he acted with malice.
- Farage has attacked the BBC over its questions, Labour and the Liberal Democrats have urged him to come clean, and the electoral impact and any formal probe remain unclear.
