flag Nigel Farage denied intentional racism in his 1970s school days amid renewed scrutiny over his party’s handling of racial incidents.

flag Nigel Farage denied engaging in racist behavior "with intent" during his 1970s tenure at Dulwich College, responding to allegations from over a dozen former classmates reported by The Guardian. flag The 61-year-old Reform UK leader said he cannot recall all incidents from nearly five decades ago but insisted he never intentionally hurt anyone based on race, denied direct racial abuse or extremist ties, and acknowledged some past remarks might now be seen as problematic playground banter. flag His comments come amid scrutiny over his party’s handling of racism, including the sentencing of former Welsh leader Nathan Gill for bribery tied to pro-Russian speeches and the suspension of Senedd member Laura Anne Jones for a racial slur. flag Critics, including Labour’s Lord Mike Katz and Liberal Democrat president-elect Josh Babarinde, condemned Farage’s response as evasive, accusing him of failing to address past conduct and party culture, especially after he appeared at a rally with Jones.
