In an angry performance at a press conference in London, the Reform UK leader denied saying anything racist ‘with malice’ when he was a student at Dulwich college, but appeared to lose his temper as questions were asked about the allegation.
Farage’s comments came after the BBC’s Emma Barnett pressed Reform’s deputy leader, Richard Tice, on Farage’s ‘relationship with Hitler’. Citing television shows including Are You Being Served? and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum, Farage accused the BBC of ‘double standards and hypocrisy’. He said: ‘I want an apology from the BBC for virtually everything you did throughout the 1970s and 80s.’
