Nigel Farage, the leader of the British Reform Party, has been accused of racism and anti-Semitism during his teenage years. Farage himself claims that he did not “directly” target anyone. Now former schoolmates are calling on Farage to apologize.

Twenty-six former students at the private school Dulwich College wrote in an open letter to The Guardian that Farage's denial has caused "confusion and anger." They called on Farage to "make clear that he has renounced the racist, anti-Semitic and fascist views" that they say he expressed at the school.

One of those who made the allegations in November claims that Farage used to say things like “Hitler was right” and “gas them.” Others have said he sang songs about gassing ethnic minorities.

A spokesperson for the Reform Party claims that the “attacks” are an attempt to slander the party and Farage.
