00:00Is Nigel Farage a racist?
00:02I answered your question, I'm not going to play the man, I'm playing the ball as our
00:06leader did.
00:07I will leave it for the public to come to their own judgements about someone who once
00:11flirted with Hitler youth when he was younger.
00:15That is for the public.
00:16Also suggested that Nigel Farage have flirted with Hitler youth.
00:19Now the party have said that's totally untrue, that that's libelous, contemptuous.
00:25What did you mean by that?
00:26I think there were some articles circling around from a teacher, but I wasn't at school
00:30with Nigel Farage.
00:31I don't know what songs he sang at school, so I'm happy to clarify.
00:38I did say it's for the public to make up their mind, and I did also emphasise that let us
00:43play the ball, not the man, so it's not my intention to play the man, Nigel Farage.
00:48In fact, I did a show with Nigel Farage and LBC a few years ago.
00:55Let us concentrate on the ball, the policy.
00:57The policy, which is the deportation policy, his policies on the NHS, which I think is
01:01to charge, and his policies on lowering tax cuts, which would lead to the bomb markets,
01:07not the man.
01:08To be totally clear, you're pulling back from that comment that you made.
01:12He has denied it, and so I accept that he has denied it, and I would like to clarify that
01:17position because in the end the Prime Minister was keen for us to focus on the policies, not
01:23the individual.
