US EditionNigel Farage’s ‘Racism’ at Odds with School Values, Says Dulwich Official
Dulwich College condemns allegations of Nigel Farage's racist and antisemitic behavior in the 1970s as profoundly distressing and incompatible with its values, amid political denial.
- Over the past weeks, Dulwich College described the claims as `profoundly distressing` and `entirely at odds with the Dulwich College of today` in its first reported response.
- Dating to the 1970s, multiple accounts describe Nazi salutes, chants, anti-semitic slurs and racist taunts, with accusations emerging nearly 50 years later in the past weeks.
- Nigel Farage has rejected the claims, saying he `never directly racially abused anybody` and called the master's comments `uninformed` while Reform UK deputy leader Richard Tice called ex-classmates `liars` and labelled the reporting a `witch hunt`.
- The college said it avoided public comment to protect its reputation, stating it prioritizes safeguarding its good name and values, while Jean-Pierre Lihou cautiously welcomed Robert Milne's letter.
- With Farage leading a party polling strongly, eleven Holocaust survivors have written asking for truth and apology amid his long record targeting migrants and minorities.
