US EditionNigel Farage told to apologise by 26 of his school contemporaries
About 25 former pupils and one teacher accuse Nigel Farage of racist and antisemitic behavior during his youth, urging him to take responsibility and renounce the views.
- On Wednesday, 25 former pupils and one ex-teacher at Dulwich College published an open letter to Nigel Farage, Reform UK leader, urging him to renounce alleged `racist, antisemitic and fascist views`, first published by The Guardian and seen by the Press Association.
- The group said they were prompted by varied denials from Mr Farage and Reform and pointed to 2013 reporting of similar allegations.
- Signatories say many either directly experienced or witnessed racist and antisemitic behaviour during Dulwich College incidents, calling Farage's conduct `exceptional, even for those times`.
- Party spokespeople including Reform deputy leader Richard Tice have defended Nigel Farage, with Mr Farage citing supportive letters and insisting remarks were never made `in a malicious or nasty way`.
- Anna Turley urged Mr Farage to apologise and said his refusal to answer questions about past behaviour leaves the impression he may have something to hide.
