Nigel Farage: Antisemitism Allegations Timeline

Former pupils and some staff allege Farage used antisemitic taunts (e.g., “Hitler was right”, “gas them”), sang “gas ’em all” style chants, fixated on far-right groups, and targeted Jewish boys. Chloë Deakin’s June 1981 letter records staff concerns about “racist and neo-fascist views” and “Hitler Youth songs” at cadet camp.

Farage has repeatedly praised Powell and written about being inspired by him. Critics treat this as part of a broader far-right-adjacent posture rather than direct antisemitism.

Multiple appearances in which Farage discusses “globalists”, “new world order”, Bilderberg and banker-led plots. Jewish communal organisations argue that, in that ecosystem, this language functions as familiar coded antisemitic conspiracy content.

Reporting says Farage gave at least six long interviews with Rick Wiles between 2011 and 2016. Wiles has promoted explicitly antisemitic narratives. The criticism is less “what Farage said in one line” and more the pattern of legitimising that venue.

Reported remarks that elected leaders were replaced by “former Goldman Sachs employees” and “bully boy bureaucrats”. Critics argue this kind of “financial cabal / world government” framing overlaps with well-known conspiracy traditions that can carry antisemitic associations.

Farage agreed with an LBC caller about a pro-Israel “lobby”, describing Jewish people living in America as disproportionately influential and the lobby as powerful. Jewish organisations and antisemitism monitors criticised the framing as crossing into familiar tropes about Jewish power.

Farage frames Soros and allies as engaged in huge-scale international political collusion. Critics argue this feeds the “Soros as shadow operator” storyline, which has a long antisemitic afterlife even when speakers deny antisemitic intent.

Reporting on Farage’s comments to Alex Jones includes the “Soros is the biggest danger” line and a framing about changing Europe’s composition. Critics treat that ‘Soros as puppet-master’ story as a well-worn antisemitic conduit.

Jewish groups criticised Farage’s appearances and language, arguing that terms like “globalists” and “new world order” function as code-words within conspiracy subcultures and track closely to antisemitic narratives.

Farage was criticised after comments about banks/multinationals pushing dictatorial world government, and calling Goldman Sachs “the enemy”. Critics argue this sits in a ‘financial cabal’ conspiracy frame with antisemitic associations.

Reporting of condemnation from Jewish groups and MPs, framing Farage’s rhetoric as echoing far-right conspiracism with roots in anti-Jewish racism.

Farage called Shapps a “globalist” in “globalists taking over” framing. Critics argue “globalist” frequently functions as a coded antisemitic slur, and they note Farage’s history of using similar tropes.

Coutts’ internal notes cite “globalist”, Soros and Goldman Sachs-related themes and associations as part of reputational risk, alongside other issues. The dossier is not a court finding, but it is a contemporaneous institutional record of how his rhetoric was assessed.

Renewed reporting argues the “global bankers/globalists” claims repeated in US media over years sit in a conspiracy tradition with longstanding antisemitic associations; critics press Farage to address it directly amid the school allegations.

Reporting on widening testimony from contemporaries, public calls for apology, and institutional reactions. This strengthens the “rooted in adolescence” part of the case, regardless of what you conclude about adult intent.

The Guardian reports that 34 school contemporaries of Nigel Farage have now come forward alleging racist or antisemitic behaviour. New named witnesses include Jason Meredith (alleging "paki" slurs and "go back home" taunts), Adrian Woods (corroborating Peter Ettedgui's account of antisemitic harassment), Chris Kibble (remembering "gas em all" catchphrase), James Varcoe (saying Farage would sing songs about gassing Jews), and Nick Cannon (who wrote a letter to the headmaster protesting Farage's elevation to prefect). 26 contemporaries signed an open letter calling for an apology, and 11 Holocaust survivors wrote a separate letter demanding he tell the truth.
