Ukip leader's ex-teachers: Young Nigel Farage was a fascist
Right-wing party's leader exposed for 'Hitler marches'

Ukip leader Nigel Farage was a "fascist" and "racist" during his school days, according to his former teachers.

A recently unearthed letter from the rabid rightwingers's time at posh public school Dulwich College alleges that he "marched through a quiet Sussex village very late at night shouting Hitler Youth songs."

Written by Mr Farage's former English teacher Chloe Deakin, the letter was sent to the school's headmaster in response to Mr Farage being made a prefect.
