That is a very good point. When. Farage was growing up he'd be exposed to shows like 'Love Thy Neighbour' and racist comedians like Bernard Manning. It would be very surprising of he didn't engage in that sort of racist humour as a young teen.

But instead of his casual racism being a youthful indiscretion it became his manifesto for life.


Your last point is the element the other journalists should be getting into and was set out in the other article I linked to above. (copied here for ease)

His life and career appear to have carried on with similar views and they can be seen born out in Reform policy stances and opinion.
The fact he did it 50 years ago, just confirms what he is doing now isn't an accident.

It feels like his "I don't sweat" moment of an interview

Exactly, his base expect nothing less then him being racist in the 70,s. This just confirms what they expected


Reform are running at 30% in polls
He is the face of reform
So by your statements that's a big percentage of people not bothered by him being cruelly anti-semitic to other jewish pupils
Surprised people so nonchalant about this

Have you read what I said? You certainly haven't understood it

The entire point was that most decent people growing up at that time and being honest would acknowledge the stuff that went on, and that they may well have engaged with some of it, but as adults in 2025 they look back on it with regret and horror.

Which is the opposite of Farridge.


So did you goose step in the playground
Or say to jewish pupils Hitler was right?
Long way removed from the comedic output at the time

In fairness, there are probably very few people who never heard, told or laughed at a racist joke etc when a child back in the 70s and 80s.

The intelligent and honest answer for most would be- they were different times, I probably did, but I was young and ignorant and know much much better now.

This.

The Guardian telling their readership that a bloke most of us detest and believe is a racist, held racist views is hardly moving the dial or the narrative...

Waste of column inches.

None of your business and totally irrelevant.
Neither is my gender, race or sexual orientation.
Dumb banter never was ok.
Hurtful in any decade.
Just the because the majority thought ok to join in then is exactly what that arsehole is still trying to say as the majority of people who side with him cling onto that view.
Don’t give him a hall pass.
It’s not an excuse.

Absolutely relevant as you appear ignorant of what I am talking about, and are making up offensive nonsense as a result.

I have never said that "dumb banter was okay". Exactly the opposite. Read what is actually written please.

You said ‘there are probably very few people who never heard, told or laughed at a racist joke etc when a child back in the 70s and 80s - they were different times, I probably did’

You’ve said you joined in.

Presuming I was or wasn’t around when you say it was acceptable is irrelevant.

There are no excuses is what is what I am saying.

Sadly those times (in terms of racism) are back, and I am aware of several examples which I have either witnessed or been told about by people I know who have suffered it.

In the last year or so, the flood gates have definitely opened.

Sorry, it wasn't aimed at you, and I can't say I've followed the whole thread that closely.

Indeed, my main point is that what really matters is what is happening now, not what happened 50 years ago.

exactly, farage's refusal to apologise and instead call his many accusers liars is reprehensible.
