Farage In The News

[ellal]

It's astonishing that schoolyard gossip from 50 years ago makes front-page news. It certainly speaks to his current political influence if people are digging that deep, but it feels like a serious stretch for modern accountability.

By that logic, do you believe that women who were abused years ago should stay silent forever?

After all, many often only speak out when they feel they are ok to do so, or a high profile case prompts them...

It's quite likely had garbage not become a political figure he'd simply be out there hanging flags at half mast and painting roundabouts...

And no-one would have been any the wiser...

But due to the fact that he aspires to be leader of the UK, then many people obviously believe that people should know about his views that go way back...

Or do you believe that he is the only political figure whose past has been questioned?

Or that the character of any political leader should not be looked into?

My formative years? I remember those days more so than the fluff in between.

Thats because you have never grown up!!

 

[carmanmemoranda]

I think that proves his point

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Says a lot about those who defend a rascist anti-semite who wants to lead the country...

No doubt they'll claim like their hero that is was only 'indirectly'

But as has been mentioned before, garbage could sue, so why won't he?

He also won't countenance undertaking an inquiry into the traitorous behaviour of members of his party, or to see how deep it goes.

But the usual suspects won't question anything he utters anyway!

Ridiculous, now watch as the numbers coming forward from school reaches 16,141,241 (total people who voted remain )

 

[carmanmemoranda]

That's a fair point about public scrutiny. I agree the timeline doesn't invalidate a serious claim, and a leader's past should be examined. My primary concern remains the evidential weight of 50-year-old school remarks versus documented current views or modern conduct.

Does a leopard change it's spots.

Take his aged comments and then revisit the Brexit saga and his poster.

Theres a definite undercurrent there

I find it amazing that, that this is remembered, accurately, by fellow pupils, after 49 years.

How many of you of 65 years age , or more, can remember what you said at school.

Lets Ask Keir about the victims of Jimmy Saville all those years back

 

[Koolpc]

I remember barking at school if that counts!

Which one is you?

As has been mentioned, his current views bear a striking resemblance...

How many people moving from the EU were non white? The vast minority.
And yet that poster was exactly the opposite.

And hitler blamed immigrants and jews along with other minority groups for Germany's problems...

He apparently agreed with hitler, and not only is he anti-semitic but blames muslims and any other race/religion you care to mention if they are not perceived to be 'British'...

And if other politicians keep the same outlook in life from their earlier years why not him?

Did camoron, bojo and gideon ditch their bullingdon club elitist view of life?

20 people mmmmmm was he the only white boy in his class....

[Mottie]

Yes, by his logic he didn't go up to a jew and say 'you should be gassed', but it was ok to say that 'hitler was right' and 'gas them all' when in earshot...

I wonder if he called them four by two’s, like you did?

 

[Mottie]

so Nigel Farage says Nigel Farage isnt racist

Notch say Notch isn’t racist.
