He was, according to teachers (who put it in writing at the time), someone with "publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views", that Farage was so offensive to a boy in his set, that he had to be removed from the lesson and that along with others, that he "marched though a quiet Sussex village very late at night shouting Hitler youth songs". At the time that he was made prefect despite the protestations of some of the teaching staff, he was 17 and remained one when he turned 18. It has been reported that as an 18 year old he was involved in the anti-Semitic bullying of a 13 year old boy. 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.”. 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. -

You keep missing the main point, Farage, as an adult, has consistently denied these accusations over the years, it's only since several people have recently come forward in person with these accusations that he has now backtracked on those denials. It's also very telling that he never sued Crick about the claims made in his book...
