Anyone of a similar age to Farage will know that antisemitic remarks played no part in 1970s banter.
Nazis were universally hated. Farages abusive behaviour would have made a strong impression. I have no doubt that Farage’s classmates remember him perfectly.

Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.
