Farage accuses BBC and ITV of double standards after racism question

Описание: Nigel Farage has demanded an apology from the BBC after a presenter asked a question about the Reform UK's alleged racist behaviour when he was at school.

Mr Farage has denied reports he used racist and antisemitic language while a pupil at Dulwich College.

The Reform UK leader criticised a BBC Today presenter who questioned the party's deputy leader about the allegations.

"I think to frame a question around the leader of Reform's 'relationship with Hitler', which is how she framed it, was despicable, disgusting beyond belief," he said.

"At the time I was alleged to have made these remarks, one of your most popular weekly shows was 'The Black and White Minstrels'. The BBC were very happy to use blackface."
