I'm old enough to remember when Gordon Brown was forced to apologise to a woman for calling her a bigot.
The very least we should expect is that Nigel Farage apologises for being one.

Yinka was a little 9 year old boy
Farage was a swaggering bully aged 17
We all knew those bullies at school and in this case teenager Farage was a racist bully too

Yinka Bankole was 12 when Farage spotted him in the playground:
“He towered over me. ‘Where are you from?’ he asked. Within seconds of offering my rather confused and sputtering answers, he had a clear response: ‘That’s the way back to Africa,’.”

Holy smokes! If you acted like Palantir CEO Alex Karp in a corporate meeting, they would report you to HR. Just saying.

they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.

Starmer accuses the Brexiters of selling Brexit on lies and false promises. He’s guilty of pretence and obfuscation now. The EU won’t trust us or even consider major changes to the current deal if British politicians continue to lie, hedge and mislead. Act like a leader, Starmer. Damnit, man. LEAD.
