After his 'Nazi propaganda' poster, people are re-sharing the shocking letter where one of Nigel Farage's teachers calls him a 'fascist'

Ukip leader Nigel Farage was condemned earlier this week for unveiling a new anti-EU poster which was accused of resembling "outright Nazi propaganda".

Following that criticism, people on social media have been re-sharing a letter reportedly written by a teacher during Farage's time at the prestigious Dulwich College school in 1981 - uncovered by a Channel 4 investigation a few years ago.

In it, English teacher Chloe Deakin pleads with the master of the college to reconsider his decision to appoint Farage as a prefect, alleging that the now-Ukip leader was "a racist" and held "neo-fascist views".

One excerpt of the letter reads:

Another colleague, who teaches the boy, described his publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views; and he cited a particular incident in which Farage was so offensive to a boy in his set, that he had to be removed from the lesson.

Another alleges that Farage and some of his classmates at a Combined Cadet Force (CCF) camp had marched through a Sussex village "shouting Hitler-youth songs".

Other teachers at the school dismissed Farage's behaviour as "naughtiness, not racism" and the man himself strongly denied the allegations.

He told Channel 4 in 2013:

I did say things that would offend deeply and there were certainly two or three members of the English staff I made arguments against, that I didn't necessarily believe in.

But any accusation I was ever involved in far right politics is utterly untrue.

When asked about the Hitler youth songs, Farage said:

That's silly. I don't know any Hitler youth songs, in English or German.
