Former Dulwich pupil says Farage told him: That's the way back to Africa'

"I went to the school for a year between 1980 and 1981, starting at a mere nine years of age. I was in the most junior class (JC) at the time, in a college that was so large, consisting of lower, middle and upper schools with an age range from nine to 18. My hardworking parents celebrated with pictures as proud parents would do when their child is so privileged to attend such a well-reputed educational institution."

"Farage told reporters that he had never been racist or antisemitic with malice. Instead, he launched a tirade at the BBC and ITV for questioning him about an ongoing Guardian investigation into allegations of past antisemitism and racism. Citing television shows including Are You Being Served? and It Ain't Half Hot Mum, Farage accused the BBC, which he suggested he would boycott, of double standards and hypocrisy, and claimed ITV had a case to answer for airing the comedian Bernard Manning in the 1970s."

Yinka Bankole attended Dulwich College between 1980 and 1981, starting at nine years old. A 17-year-old Nigel Farage singled him out in the lower-school playground, asked 'Where are you from?' and directed racist remarks. Bankole's parents emigrated from Nigeria in the 1950s. Bankole decided to make his full account public after Farage denied malicious racism and antisemitism at a press conference while attacking broadcasters and citing television shows. Bankole described Farage's denials as disingenuous and said the press conference was the final straw.
