People shouldn't speak like that,' this would all have gone away. And that's the problem. It's not that he's racist, that he doesn't care."
"Kemi Badenoch has questioned why Nigel Farage has not apologised for alleged racist and antisemitic comments while at school, saying the weight of the evidence of more than 20 former schoolmates is significant. In her strongest comments yet on the issue, the Conservative leader said she was struck that Farage had not admitted any fault or apologised, saying it would have been her first instinct as a politician."
Kemi Badenoch questioned why Nigel Farage has not apologised for alleged racist and antisemitic comments made while at school, noting the weight of testimony from more than 20 former classmates. Twenty-eight Dulwich College contemporaries reported witnessing or experiencing racist or antisemitic behaviour, including one claim that Farage told a Jewish classmate 'Hitler was right and gas them' and another that Farage told a Black pupil 'that's the way back to Africa.' Badenoch said Farage's refusal to apologise suggests indifference to having hurt people, and that a simple apology could have defused the controversy.
