Is Farage A Racist...Well

Deputy Prime Minister, David Lammy, said of Nigel Farage that he was not one to attack the man but he would rather attack the policies but then seemed to forget that seconds later when he said that Farage was a racist and once flirted with the Hitler youth. Ouch.
The racist thing is obvious, if it quacks like a racist and walks like a racist, it's a racist but the Hitler youth claim was new one and seems to come from a letter from former an English teacher at Dulwich College, the public school attended by Farage in the 1970s, that Farage was not the right person to be a prefect at the college due to a liking of singing and shouting Hitler Youth songs and that he was viewed as a fascist amongt staff members.
Another staff member said he held 'publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views' and in a 2022 interview with a former classmate of Farage, he called how Farage had a thing for the National Front and would run into classrooms and chalk NF on the board.
Another former English master recalled staff being concerned that Nigel had voiced views that were not simply right wing but views that were racist and had a particular hatred of Jews, telling one Jewish by that Hitler was right and would sing send ‘em home and sing gas ‘em all, gas ‘em all, gas them all, to the Jewish children.
To be fair to Lammy, why not play the man and the policies as both are awful and absolutely racist.
