They also described him as 'racist' https://www.scribd.com/doc/169454715/Nigel-Farage-1981-school-letter One of his teachers was reported as describing his "publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views". This was in 1981, and in writing - it cannot possibly be said to have been someone trying to undermine him in a future role as a politician (unless they had a time machine or some sort of clairvoyance). I think it is fairly clear that he displayed racist behaviour as a young man of 17 / 18. Whilst he is now more careful / guarded in his language, I suspect not much has changed based on his preoccupations and rhetoric. -
Racism and fascism are not the same thing. There are for instance left wing anti semites - sadly rather too many in the Labour Party IMHO. Indeed Labour has always had a bedrock of racism in some areas, I recall many trades unions strongly resisting employment of both people from the Indian sub continent and the West Indies. And teenage posturing is by no means always a gateway to knowing what the adult will emerge as. And the Guardian as a source of information and analysis is hardly an unbiased source in this instance, as the Telegraph wouldn't be in arguing the opposite. -

What is also surprising is the silence of Cllrs Hamvas and Mills. Have either of you any sense of where they stand on the issue? If We are the Fair no longer run the event, what do we know about the organisation that has taken over?
