"For one contemporary, it is the hectoring tone of today that evokes what it was like to be at school with Nigel Farage. He would sidle up to me and growl: Hitler was right' or Gas them', Peter Ettedgui recalls when asked about life at fee-paying Dulwich College in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Later, he adds: I'd hear him calling other students Paki' or Wog' and urging them to go home'."
"For others, including some in the college's combined cadet force (CCF), what lingers is the image of the young Mr Farage in uniform and his renderings of a racist anthem titled Gas 'em all. Tim France, a CCF member from those years, remembered Mr Farage regularly giving the Nazi salute and strutting around the classroom. It was habitual, you know, it happened all the time, he recalls."
Contemporaries at fee-paying Dulwich College recall repeated racist remarks and actions by Nigel Farage in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Witnesses report him growling 'Hitler was right' and 'Gas them', calling classmates 'Paki' and 'Wog', and urging them to go home. Members of the combined cadet force remember him performing the Nazi salute, strutting in uniform, and singing a racist anthem titled 'Gas 'em all'. Others describe him being addressed as 'Jude', chanting 'Oswald Mosley', and setting fire to the school roll after comments about the number of Patels. Some contemporaries do not recall these incidents, and no claim is made about his current character.
