Peter Ettedgui a Jewish film director suffered anti semitism at school

[Notch7]

he had a classmate coming up to him repeatedly saying: "Hitler was right" and gas them" then making a hissing sound like escaping gas

Would that classmate be described as a "Jew Hater"?

Like you, I'd condemn it as being wrong on Nige's part, a mistake by a schoolboy in his teens, a shocking mistake.

I'll still vote for him in the next election to get rid of the shower of **** we currently have running the country though.

You'd still vote for Boris

You don't hold morals and ethics very high

I’m surprised he kept quiet about it all these years. Why do you think it’s just come out now, 50 years later? I mean, it not as if Nigel has only just arrived on the scene, is it? Seems to tally with him being a few points above labour in the polls. Coincidence?

 

[Munroast]

as much as i don't care for Farage, I'm not going to hold anything he said 50 years ago in the playground against him. They were very different times, racism sexism and homophobia were absolutely rife in my school - and that was just the teachers, the pupils just mimicked the way society was at that time.

 

[fillyboy]

And yet you respect trump Johnson and farage.

I will let the facts speak for themselves

Conflating 'respect' and voting for whoever is likely to provide the 'best outcome for the country' is pretty dumb.

Nigel leaves a lot to be desired, but he is our best hope. He is leading in the polls and will be our PM in 2029 if not sooner.

He handled this nazi accusation badly. It has been the left's MO since Blair to accuse conservatives of being racist, and it has been the downfall of the Conservative Party and others to waste time and effort trying to prove that they are not. Nige should have simply told them all to f*** off, or similar, on the style of Trump and his team. Farage, for all his accomplishments, is wanting in some areas. He needs Rupert Lowe and Tommy Robinson on board.

I suspect Tommy would be toxic for the party and should be kept at arms length.

Don't worry, I don't take any notice or heed of your choices.

I much prefer any leader to be somebody I can respect. Even if I disagree with their policies.

Trump, no. Johnson. No. Farage. No.

Your choices give away your mindset. Anything will do as long as it's the right colour. Regardless of anything else. Honour. Honesty. Etc

Nigel Farage was not just “a 13 year old schoolboy” when these remarks happened.
He was doing it from 13 up to 18.

This can’t be dismissed as “schoolboy high spirits” ….these are the early signs of a sociopath.


Over 20 witnesses have come forward, some of which have stated they are happy to do it in court.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

This post is trying to set Fillyboy up to look racist, and I have reported it.

I'm doing a lot of reporting today.

But it's true

 

[SPLINE]

But it's true

Yes, what is true? Are you doing a Himmy-style twist or have you misunderstood something?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

What's true, are you saying I'm a racist?

Shall we say you have a very 1 sided view.

Interpret that how you like, but what was said, was true.

This is an era when Bernard Manning was on primetime television. Right or wrong, it was the language of the time.
...and let's face it, most schoolboys are little ****s!

*It was the C word.

 

[Vinty]

Haven't independent studies shown that people with right wing views tend to be more antisemitic than those with left wing views.

Nigel still appears to harbour some residual anti semitic thoughts from his earlier days.
A while back he was banging on about George Soros being the biggest danger to the entire western world.
Jewish groups accused him of peddling antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Nowt wrong with Bernard Manning, he was actually funny, unlike today's right-on comedians.

He was all for equal rights - he had an insult for everyone, no matter what colour or race.
