He's going from denying it, to he can't remember what happened that long ago to well if he said anything it wasn't directed at anyone individually.

Richard Tice was a bit more direct and openly called those accusing Farage of outright lying.

Lots say should we be held accountable for things we may have said or done as a ****ager and if, as an adult, you have demonstrated you are a good person then maybe not, but if you have demonstrated the same tendencies as an adult then absolutely its right to call him out. Farage has demonstrated he does and add in myoginism and homophobic tendencies too.

One important thing is if a bully can't really remember who he bullied or what he said 40 years ago, you can guarantee the person or people bullied will remember. Being bullied as a child is life affecting and not easy to forget.
Fair comment that. I’m sure many of us wouldn’t want to be judged on how we behaved as te@nagers or in our early twenties.
I certainly did some pretty daft and sometimes illegal stuff, but it never extended to cruel behaviour or vindictive bullying and maybe if, half a century down the line, you’re still displaying the same characteristics then questions do need to be asked.

His defence was entirely predictable. Whether it stands scrutiny will, I guess, depend on where one stands in relation to Farage the 2025 version and you know my answer to that.
