Nigel Farage is facing renewed scrutiny after a school contemporary, Peter Ettedgui, criticized his recent apology as insincere. The criticism follows a BBC interview where Farage expressed regret if he "genuinely" hurt anyone with his past actions at Dulwich College. Ettedgui, who alleges Farage subjected him to antisemitic abuse, is one of 34 individuals who have accused Farage of racist and antisemitic behavior during his school years. Ettedgui questions why Farage initially denied the allegations, especially given the number of accusers and the severity of the claims, which include admiration for fascist leaders. The accusations and subsequent "non-apology" have resurfaced as Farage seeks to become prime minister, raising questions about his past conduct.
