This isn't from recent news, but apparently someone I know was a couple of years ahead of Farage in school. The story as he tells it is that staff threatened a mass resignation because they didn't like this guy at all.
"In 1981, an English teacher who had not met the 17-year-old Farage, Chloe Deakin, wrote to the headmaster of Dulwich College, David Emms, asking him to reconsider his decision to appoint Farage as a prefect, citing concerns expressed by others over Farage's alleged 'fascist' views. Emms rejected those concerns, as did the College's deputy headmaster, Terry Walsh, who said later that Farage "was well-known for provoking people, especially left-wing English teachers who had no sense of humour". Farage later stated: "Any accusation [that] I was ever involved in far right politics is utterly untrue."[36]"
Woke people in the 80's.
Btw, cycling through the grounds of Dulwich College is lovely and a really handy commuting short-cut. Cars have to pay.
