If you have used a racist term and need somone with backward views to defend you, Nigel Farage is your man.
Nigel Farage asked about Reform MS Laura Anne Jones (who the Senedd Commissioner found had used a racist term in a staff WhatsApp chat in August 2023 while discussing TikTok writing: “No chinky spies for me.”)
"Well, she used a word that colloquially, probably was meant in a nice way 20 years ago."

“… why does his response keep changing if there's nothing to it?”
Anja Popp on Channel 4 News, asks Nigel Farage about racist comments at Reform's Budget 2025 presser.
Visibly defensive, deflecting with 'Enoch Powell', 'political views', 'debate'… Farage doodles away his anxiety.

Alleged use of the N-word here is from 1997 when Farage would have been 33 years old and at a time when there was no doubt that terms like this were highly racist.
I don’t think the ‘banter’ excuse would hold up here either.

May 2014, The Guardian reports that UKIP founder Alan Sked was told by Nigel Farage not to worry about the "N vote" and that the "n*g-nogs" will never vote for UKIP.
