The Spectator, edited by Michael Gove and owned in the same stable as GB News is an unlikely place to find a call for Farage to say sorry about allegations of racism and anti-Semitism when he was at Dulwich College.
That however is exactly what an article by Jonathan Sacerdoti does (28th November). Perhaps the core of why the Spectator thinks it still matters is here:
Above all, the suggestion that racist ideas may have appealed to him as an adolescent reinforces a particular anxiety that already exists among some voters. They worry that his present-day arguments about immigration, which many regard as legitimate questions of policy and national capacity, might instead be rooted in something darker. It is this recurring unease, rather than the specifics of events half a century old, that troubles parts of the electorate who are otherwise sympathetic to Reform’s platform.
However for Farage sorry still seems to be the hardest word
