Overview
- Eleven Holocaust survivors wrote to Nigel Farage urging a clear answer or an apology over alleged remarks such as praising Hitler and mocking gas chambers.
- At a tense press conference, Farage insisted he never made racist comments with malice and demanded the BBC apologize for 1970s–80s programming he called racist.
- The Guardian now counts 28 former pupils and teachers who recall racist or antisemitic behavior at Dulwich College, with multiple accounts corroborating each other.
- Former classmate Peter Ettedgui alleges Farage said “Hitler was right” and “gas them,” a claim others back; Farage read a supportive letter from an unnamed Jewish ex-pupil.
- Reform UK deputy Richard Tice dismissed the claims as “made-up twaddle,” while Labour and Conservatives criticized Farage’s handling and shifting explanations.
