The point I was making was that Crick himself said, on the radio, that he only found one person, and that wasn't corroborated, who said that he believed that Farage currently, as an adult now, expressed racist beliefs, or was a racist. Nobody is arguing I believe that as a teenager he did so, or was remembered as doing so. It's surely key whether he is now a racist, not whether he said racist things as a legal child and 40 years ago.
I did. I have emailed the events team at Southwark and given my objections. Also objected to the way that the consultation was carried out - online meeting in the middle of the day that not everyone could access. In person meeting at Peckham library in the late evening , cold, dark and wet. This means that people could not easily give their view. There is a petition on Change.org asking Southwark not to go ahed with the festival.
