US EditionFarage Denies Former Classmates' Racism Claims
Nigel Farage rejects claims from 28 former classmates about racist and antisemitic remarks at Dulwich College nearly 50 years ago and demands a BBC apology for alleged double standards.
- On Thursday, Nigel Farage denied making racist or antisemitic remarks at a central London press conference and read a letter from a former Jewish classmate saying they never heard him racially abuse anyone.
- Among those accusing Farage is Peter Ettedgui, who says Farage repeatedly told him 'Hitler was right' while they were pupils at Dulwich College, according to The Guardian.
- Among the allegations, accusers say Farage taught younger Combined Cadet Force pupils a racist terrace song called 'Gas Em All' and joked about gas chambers, with two former pupils backing Ettedgui's accounts.

- Farage framed his defence by pointing to past TV programming, accusing the BBC of double standards over 1970s and 80s broadcasting and demanding apologies for The Black and White Minstrel Show, Bernard Manning, and It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
