Reform UK’s leader, Nigel Farage, says his ongoing friendship with aide, donor and fraudster George Cottrell shows his “Christian forgiveness”. It is heartening to know that he espouses Christian values. Maybe he should now seek forgiveness from the 34 former fellow Dulwich College pupils who say they were either victims of or witnesses to racial abuse by him.
