Yinka Bankole

engineer United Kingdom

Yinka Bankole is a former pupil of Dulwich College who recently came forward to share his experiences of alleged racial abuse by Nigel Farage during their school years. Bankole, whose parents immigrated to the UK from Nigeria, recounted an incident from the early 1980s when a teenage Farage made a derogatory comment towards him. Motivated by Farage's attempts to dismiss such allegations as mere banter, Bankole felt compelled to publicly express the lasting impact of these encounters. Now 54 and working as an engineer, he has emphasized the importance of acknowledging the realities of racial bullying and its long-term effects on victims.
