This exactly! As someone the same age as Farage we NEVER joked about the holocaust because our Grandparenrs suffered WW2 and we knew there was a line even racist immature boys didn’t cross. Was his stockbroker Dad a racist I wonder?
"Tories accuses Farage of ranting about racism allegations - while at same time in effect admitting they are true"
"Farage was right… there were plenty of programmes on TV in the 1970s that would not be acceptable today… But it is hard to recall a comedy programme about the Holocaust."
