Nigel Farage has a race problem
The school stories, the admiration for Enoch Powell and comments about the “US Jewish lobby” all hang over Farage - and make him unelectable

Interesting what Crick notes.
Farage like Mogg and Johnson are really just grown up versions of their teenage selves. Lots of public school boys leave fully formed - and armed with an entitlement and a sense of empowerment that takes them through the rest of their lives.

On why Farage doesn’t apologise for his schoolboy racism:
“if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too.’ ”
Exactly.
He is racist. So are his voters. He can’t be pissing them off by saying sorry.

Farage’s whole brand is racism. He screams with every talking point : ‘I am a racist’.
His language, past and present, is deliberately racist, hateful - clearly malicious and delivered intentionally. The words don’t fall out of his mouth by accident.
A liar, bigot, and a fascist wannabe.
