Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, faces allegations from former Dulwich College classmates who claim he sang antisemitic songs and made racist remarks during his school years in the 1970s. Jean-Pierre Lihou, a former friend, described Farage's behaviour as deeply hurtful, particularly towards Jewish and Indian pupils, and recounted specific incidents of antisemitic taunting. Another former pupil, Stefan Benarroch, condemned Farage's actions as unacceptable, stating that the impact of such behaviour has lingered for decades.
Farage has denied ever directly racially abusing anyone and suggested the allegations are politically motivated, coming nearly fifty years after the events. Reform UK's deputy leader and spokesperson have dismissed the claims and criticised the media coverage as an attempt to undermine the party ahead of the upcoming election. Some former pupils have defended Farage, characterising the incidents as offensive schoolboy banter without malice, while others insist the behaviour was far more serious and damaging.
