New allegations have surfaced about the school days of Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, painting a disturbing picture of behaviour that included Nazi salutes and racist taunts.
Shocking Claims from Dulwich College
Peter Ettedgui, now an established film-maker, was a 13-year-old new pupil at the prestigious Dulwich College in South London forty years ago. He describes feeling intimidated by the school's vast, gothic structure. While he found solace in drama, his experience was marred by one individual: Nigel Farage.
"Once he found out I was Jewish, you know, that was it," Ettedgui stated. He recalls Farage persistently heckling him with antisemitic abuse. This included Farage approaching him in classrooms and school grounds to say, "Hitler was right" and "Gas 'em," while making the hissing sound of escaping gas.
A Pattern of Alleged Behaviour
Ettedgui is not the only former pupil to come forward with such claims. According to reports, multiple individuals have recounted similar experiences of Farage using racist and antisemitic language during his time at the school.
For years, Nigel Farage has consistently denied that he was racist or antisemitic during his schooldays. It is crucial to note that there is no suggestion he currently holds these views. However, with Farage now a prominent political figure and Reform UK influencing the national conversation, his past character is under renewed scrutiny.
Character Scrutiny in the Political Arena
The resurgence of these claims raises significant questions about the background of those seeking high office. As one reporter noted, the role of Prime Minister holds immense power to shape a nation and its culture. Therefore, the public deserves a comprehensive understanding of a candidate's character.
These revelations from his formative years at Dulwich College add a complex layer to the public perception of Nigel Farage as he campaigns in the current political landscape.
