Attorney general calls for Farage to apologise over schoolmates’ claims
The Guardian
|December 02, 2025
‘They included Peter Ettegui, who said a 13-year-old Farage “would sidle up to me and growl: ‘Hitler was right’ or ‘gas them’, sometimes adding a long hiss to simulate the sound of the gas showers”.

Another minority ethnic pupil claimed that when he was about nine years old he was similarly targeted by a 17-year-old Farage.
“He walked up to a pupil flanked by two similarly tall mates and spoke to anyone looking ‘different’,” the pupil said. “That included me on three occasions; asking me where I was from, and pointing away, saying ‘that’s the way back’ to wherever you replied you were from.”
More people have come forward since the Guardian published its initial story; about 20 individuals have now alleged they were either victims of or witnesses to deeply offensive past behaviour by Farage. The incidents they described covered the period when Farage was aged 13 to 18.
The Reform leader has denied anything he did was “directly” racist or antisemitic, and claimed the former classmates were not telling the truth.
