Reform UK's Richard Tice Dismisses Farage School Antisemitism Claims After Calls for Apology

Farage maintains a categorical denial following detailed accounts from more than 20 former classmates.

Overview

  • Richard Tice rejected the accusations as "nonsense" and politically motivated in a GB News interview, after Kemi Badenoch urged Nigel Farage to apologise to a former schoolmate.
  • Farage has issued legal denials and later restated a categorical rejection of the claims following a media exchange in which he suggested some comments from decades ago might be seen as playground "banter."
  • More than 20 former Dulwich College pupils have described racist and antisemitic taunts, with filmmaker Peter Ettedgui alleging Farage told him "Hitler was right" and "Gas them" while mimicking gas sounds.
  • Sadiq Khan condemned Farage’s response and described the lasting harm of racist abuse, and Keir Starmer said the allegations are serious after meeting Jewish students who recounted antisemitism.
  • Some contemporaries say they do not recall such behavior, earlier documents raised concerns about Farage’s school-era views, and no legal finding has been made.
