Alex Hearn, director of Labour Against Antisemitism, said: “Restore Britain’s spokesman insinuated that Nigel Farage had been bought by Jews – the oldest smear about money and influence, delivered as a picture so that nothing could be quoted back at him. Charlie Downes has said his party believes ‘Britain is a people defined by indigenous British ancestry and Christian faith’ – a definition under which no Jew, and no other minority, can be British, however many generations we have been here. “High-profile Restore supporters have called for Jews to be deported and the party will not disown them. Downes, who has been a part of Restore since its inception, has also lamented the fact that he believes that white Britons will become a minority within 50 years, calling it a “terrifying prospect”. Farage has strenuously denied the allegations relating to his school days.
