Racism Allegations Threaten Nigel Farage’s Bid for UK Prime Minister. Nigel Farage faces mounting racism and antisemitism allegations from his schoolmates at Dulwich College, threatening his political future. Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, has been accused of offensive behavior and racist actions during his teenage years in the 1970s and 1980s. Former schoolmates recall incidents of Farage making Nazi salutes, bullying Black students, and making derogatory remarks about Jews. Allegations include Farage allegedly targeting an Indian student for detention and making anti-Semitic remarks to Jewish classmates. Farage denies the accusations, claiming they are fabricated and accusing critics of attempting to smear his views on immigration. The scandal poses a significant challenge to Reform UK’s credibility as a potential governing party, with voters questioning Farage’s fitness to lead. The allegations resurface a history of racist claims, including a 2013 report on Farage’s controversial school history, where he was denied a prefect role due to his views. Farage defends himself, stating that the incidents occurred "50 years ago" and rejecting accusations of intentional harm, but the controversy lingers.
