I mean, it's widely reported that you yourself no longer have a particularly cordial relationship
00:05
with Mr Farage. I just wondered, is that true? And what's your issue with him?
00:10
No, it's true. I haven't spoken to him since 1997 when I retired as party leader. But in
00:17
the 1997 general election, just before the election was due to take place, Nigel asked
00:26
me whether four candidates for the National Front, former National Front candidates, i.e.
00:32
extreme and right-wing fascists, really, racists, could stand as UKIP candidates. And I said,
00:37
no, of course not. And I got a kind of racist reply for him. So I always thereafter saw
00:45
him as some kind of fascist and racist. And when he made contact with somebody else who
00:53
was the research director of the BNP, the British National Party, another fascist breakaway
01:00
party from the National Front, I exposed this. And he wasn't very happy about that. So I
01:07
pursued him as someone who supposedly was involved in a party to take his out of Europe.
