‘ #Farage launched a tirade against the #BBC and said he would no longer speak to the broadcaster, calling it “despicable” and “beyond belief”.

Describing Barnett as one of the BBC’s “lower-grade presenters”, he criticised the way she asked the question, and then attacked the BBC for the fact it was showing programmes in the 1970s and 1980s that would be viewed as racist today’

So Farage is not only racist and antisemitic, he’s misogynist too…but I think most of us had already gathered that.

Is he really going to refuse the BBC platform? Result.

Question Time might even become bearable.

‘ #EmmaBarnett, who is herself Jewish, said: “Let me tell you if you are racially abused which you won’t have been Richard Tice, I suspect, you don’t tend to forget it, it gets etched in your memory.”

#Tice and #Farage may have think they’ve put the racism claims to bed with a Trumpian hissy fit…but this is why they haven’t.

And now there are 28 former students of Dulwich College who remember #Farage’s racism, antisemitism and obsession with Hitler:

“He would make these gas hissing noises. He had this fascination with Hitler and the whole kind of Third Reich thing. And he had this fascination with basically gassing Jews. And he, as I say, whenever this lad went in to the class, he would make these hissing noises.”

‘Mark Bridges, who was in #Farage’s year, said he also remembered Farage as “a racist bully”.

He said: “I remember Peter Ettedgui, and I remember him being tormented” and targeted by Farage.’

That’s not the description of someone engaging in banter - it’s ongoing racist bullying and yes, that appears to have been done with ‘malice’ from the accounts of 28 people who went to school with Farage.
