I suspect the real reason Nigel Farage is getting so rattled by the racism allegations is that:
1) He knows he said all these things so can't properly deny them
2) He knows that he carried on saying them well into adulthood

It makes me so angry that WS is treading the path of so many Tory health secretaries before him - peddling the lie that poor mental health and rises in cases of neuro-diversity is about 'over-patholigising' when really he's looking to win points by reducing the welfare bill.
We see you Wes!
We see you Wes!
Wes Streeting claims there are too many diagnoses of anxiety, autism, and ADHD. But when people are oppressed by neoliberalism, and others cannot comply with its demand for uniformity, he is really seeking to destroy evidence of dissent for his toxic worldview. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/12...
