Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?

Why, I just don't know who to believe. The racist liar claiming he wasn't always a racist or the people who says he a liar and a racist. It's a though call, man.

Ok not knowing anything about this guy I was thinking that if he was some dumb kid but was a decent adult I wouldn't have cared much but if it's a life long commitment that's good to know

In summary: He's a craven, disingenuous and asinine cunt.

No evidence except the eyewitness testimony of 20 people, including one of his mates at the time.

Racist past... racist present... racist, fascist, grifting POS is always going to be a racist fascist grifting POS... His name should be Forage... because he's always foraging for bribes and cash to line his own pockets.

Wtf is this it a point of discussion if a racist was racist in the past or not?

There are a number of people on the right who won't support a racist, but are still stupid / naive / gullible enough to believe his current lies. 'Farage doesn't hate black and brown people, he's just protecting us from the nasty refugees', those kind of morons.

If there's evidence that he's always been racist, some of them might stop supporting him and vote for someone else, lessening his chance of getting any real power.

It's a slim chance, but it's worth pushing.
