"More than 30 people have spoken to the Guardian as part of an investigation based on multiple accounts of racism, including Peter Ettedgui, 61, an Emmy- and Bafta-winning director, who recalled Farage growling repeatedly Hitler was right or Gas them at him when they were at school. Farage has previously denied directly targeting anyone with racist or antisemitic abuse or having the intent to hurt anyone, and has not publicly recognised the events described."
"But when asked at a Reform press conference in central London on Wednesday why he had not apologised to his accusers, Farage said: I don't apologise for things that are complete, made up fantasies. Amid loud booing among Reform party members directed at the ITV journalist who asked the question, Farage added: Some of what is out there is just absolute nonsense made by people with very obvious, if you look, political motivation."
