And yet auntie remains mysteriously silent on the subject of Nige's racist schoolboy pranks.

Without substance!? Have you not heard Farage's interviews... he obviously did it. He went on a bizarre rant for the BBC to apologise for their non-PC output in the 70s.
Now they've tangled themselves in knots by also denying it whist also saying its a lie - logically inconsistent, as if you can state that you can remember not saying it, how can you say that someone wouldn't remember such abuse being said to them and so it must be made up?
If he said he said dumb things as a kid that he would find abhorrent now, he could probably have but it behind him, but he's floundering and its bizarre.
The BBC are terrified to touch it though, which is a shame. Pandering to the right wing because they're scared of criticism.
Its funny that nobody seems bothered by this government saying theyre getting rid of jury trials except for the most serious crimes, jailing people for hurry words , digital ID , facial recognition technology, does anyone trust this government not to abuse the above ? and it seems some people are wetting their knickers over something that might have been said nearly 50years ago.
The left shamina begum was just a child who didnt know any better
Farage knew what he was doing hes a racist.
Hypocrisy at its finest.

it is common practice where pupils are suggested for the role of a prefect that teachers are asked to comment on their suitability.
One of Farage's teachers offered the opinion that he wasn't suitable as he displayed Neo-Fascist views. He wasn't thir**** when this took place.
Twenty eight former pupils have now come forward to confirm that Farage made racist comments to fellow pupils.
Is he suitable material for a future prime minister? Being a liar didn't stop Johnson.
"He's one of us!" "He tells it like it is!"
Shamima Begum? Are you the same BOTN who was complaining about 'whataboutery' not so long ago?
For the record, ditching the black and white and adopting a bit of nuance wouldn't go amiss here, (once again). Begum was undoubtedly groomed. Children don?t suddenly decide to up and go to Syria and know how to do it without considerable 'help'. But that does not mean that she should be allowed to return to the UK; it's highly questionable whether she could be 'un-groomed'. That's probably why the current government continued to oppose legal bid to allow her to return.
Turning to hypocrisy, it's not so long ago that voices 'on the right' (on here and elsewhere) were queuing up to decry the impact upon the UK Jewish community of the decision of the West Midlands Police to ban Maccabi fans from attending Villa Park. The owners of those voices now seem to be whistling and staring at their shoes at the allegations that a person who aims to be the next PM was in the habit of singing Nazi matching songs and sidling up to a 9 years old Jewish boy to tell him 'Hitler was right' before making hissing noises. Where's the concern for the impact that is likely to have on the UK Jewish community?
I have mixed views upon the issues that you raise, but if it comes to trust in relation to human rights, I would prefer a government led by a former human rights lawyer and committed to the European Convention of Human Rights than one led by a bloke who says that he admires Putin (the same Putin who is implicated in the murder of people in the UK with Polonium and a nerve agent) and who is alleged to have repeatedly said that Hitler was right.
