That's the kind of nonsense that you might readily swallow, but I don't. One thing most of the country has learnt is to start believing the victims. We're seeing Reform in full-on Donald Trump mode. If you were Jewish and someone made such comments to you when you were a teenager then it would be hard to forget them. Particularly as there would be generations still alive who had fled Nazi persecution whose traumatic life stories would be all too familiar to you.
Remember, we're not talking about an old-fashioned use of language but what seems to be very hurtful bullying of minorities which has led to holocaust survivors asking him to apologise.
No one's perfect in their teenage years. But Farage would be better off apologising for his behaviour then and disowning those opinions now. Calling the victims liars is only making the situation worse.

So you’ve found him guilty. Where’s your evidence?
If you actually did your research, Farage denies these allegations and has received letters of support from those who knew him, who gives rather different picture than this whining political opportunist. He’s no more than a mudslinger.
