Actually watching and reading what is alleged......What I get from this is that a raft of left wing teachers and fellow students didn't like his politics. His defence of Powell for example.
I'd have been on the side of the lefty teachers 100%.

Yes because he was a little nasty fascist who got drunk and marched around singing hitler youth songs. I'd have been on the side of the lefty teachers 100%.
I wouldn't have approved either but....was it serious, a wind up....or indeed did it actually happen? I mean it's not as though anyone sensible thinks Farage is pro Nazi. If it happened it was probably a foolish wind up by a privileged teenager.

UKIP are an odd bunch and I frankly don't trust them. You can give me my Polish or Egyptian neighbours over the paranoid little Englanders all day long

Wow.....Farage's descendents are immigrants......This must mean his 'reduce immigration' argument is somehow nonsensical. Honestly legal.....This is what you're going with? You do realise that Ukip have answered these rather trite observations many times before.
It is interesting that so often those who are against immigration focus on current immigration and that it is somehow different to previous waves of immigration as being serious cause for concern. This is as old as the hills (look at what was being said in the late 19th century re Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe as but one example)...ie the world as they knew it was going to change and the character of England would change irrevocably for the worse unless something was done, conveniently overlooking the benefits brought to the country/utter objective lack of doom arising from previous waves of immigration, and most importantly that perceptions of immigration as a major cause of concern were just diversionary given the real issues facing the country. It is ironic that descendants of immigrants should be so ignorant of this, particularly when such people conjure up a vision of a traditional England stretching back into the mists of history..when in fact we have had successive waves of immigration (which many, many of us are descended from) going back But at the end of the day, if you can't raise a smile about Mr Farage's forbearers being immigrants from a (pre EU) EU country, then we simply have different senses of irony and have to leave it at that, Stirling.

It's equally interesting that so often those who favour uncontrolled immigration conveniently overlook the actual problems it can and does cause. For example, I think we are, as a country, still dealing with loads of legacy issues from the last wave of immigration in the 1960s and 1970s. Go to Bradford or Rochdale to see how the promotion of multiculturalism has basically resulted in segregated communities living paralell lives. Britain is very far from the rainbow-coloured paradise of 'equality and diversity' which lots of self-proclaimed enlightened lefties like to think it is. My point is, a lot of people who criticise immigration recognise that it brings problems *as well as* benefits. That is, their position is a lot more nuanced and informed than their opponents care to admit. And it's a convenient Aunt Sally to just label them all racists and doom-mongers because it means you don't have to answer the legitimate points they raise.
