He was, according to teachers (who put it in writing at the time), someone with "publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views". It was also reported that Farage was so offensive to a boy in his set, he had to be removed from a lesson, and that along with others, that he "marched though a quiet Sussex village very late at night shouting Hitler youth songs". The College Chaplain (again, according to a contemporaneous note made at the time of his appointment to prefect) judged that "..in his experience views o that kind expressed by boys of that age are deep-seated, and are meant.”. At the time that he was made prefect (despite the protestations of some of the teaching staff), he was 17. It has been reported recently that later, as an 18 year old, he was involved in the anti-Semitic bullying of a 13 year old boy at the College. So the suggestion is not that he was a 'contrarian', but a young man with deep seated and publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views. Of course, it doesn't mean that those deep seated views could not have changed. But when you consider his pre-occupations and rhetoric over the many years since, I think it is extremely reasonable to question whether they have or not. Farage has, long since leaving Dulwich College, made what many consider inflammatory statements regarding immigration, race, and integration. His 2016 "Breaking Point" poster featuring a line of refugees, was widely compared to Nazi propaganda and drew broad condemnation from across the political spectrum. He has framed asylum seekers and Muslims as a threat, and attributed societal problems like congestion, housing shortages and crime to immigration. As an MEP, Farage formed alliances with various far-right and populist parties across Europe, including: The Sweden Democrats, a party with roots in white supremacy. Lega Nord (now Lega) in Italy and the Danish People's Party. Representatives from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. -
