Disgusting attempt by Reform’s Tim Montgomery to cast aspersions on Dr Andy Field, the ex Dulwich student who spoke with R4 World At One today about witnessing Nigel Farage’s vile teenage racism. How low Montgomery has fallen, now a craven maker of excuses for racism of the most hateful sort.

The old “Everyone did a cheeky bit of racism at 17 didn’t they?” routine

It catches my ear whenever I hear it. Which is often. People said “nineteen hundred and…” till about 1909, I believe.

Oh Farage actually used the "banter" defence.

He's quite literally copying the Bernard Manning playbook

bsky.app/profile/raks...
ITV Evening News had another few seconds of this interview, where he says it’s “banter on a playground”

Farage starts to say “But, isn’t it funny…”

ITV: “Okay, so you did say stuff to these people then?”

NF: “I've never directly racially abused anybody. No.”

What was funny, Nigel? 🤔

The A55 upgrade received tens of millions from YUP you guessed it EU funding as part of the Trans European Transport Network.

So yes, sure, turn up and listen to him witter on ... and vote for him if you want Wales... but he's done NOTHING for you and never ever will.

Whereas the EU did loads.

I appreciate it’s a *written* pod but do you ever make the recordings available?

I concede that it doesn’t bear close inspection but I sincerely appreciate how you engaged with my stupid joke.
