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 [Post edited 25 Nov 12:33]

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.
I bet you like ‘on the buses’and the ‘carry on’films to I know I do 🤓👮♀️. |  |

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. [Post edited 25 Nov 9:03]

Or our possible next pm went up to jewish children saying Hitler was right, gas em and then made the sound off gas - yeah waste of tine isn't it

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. [Post edited 25 Nov 21:08]

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. [Post edited 26 Nov 7:57]
