"Farage stated, 'It was a Fawlty Towers impression. Maybe we should ban the BBC, I don't know.' He acknowledged the image looked terrible but emphasized, 'No. He's a human being.'"
"Edwards explained that he was both imitating Basil Fawlty and Wayne Hennessey, who faced allegations of a Nazi salute in 2019, which were found not proven."
Corey Edwards, a leading candidate for the Reform party in the upcoming Senedd election, was photographed appearing to perform a Nazi salute. Nigel Farage defended Edwards, stating the image looked terrible but he would not be expelled from the party. Farage claimed Edwards was impersonating a character from Fawlty Towers. Edwards, previously a special adviser, is the party's lead candidate for Pen-y-bont Bro Morgannwg. The photo, taken in 2019, has sparked controversy, with Edwards suggesting he was also imitating Welsh footballer Wayne Hennessey.
