He's always been a racist. You just probably overlooked the signs.
I used to work with a lady from Kent who it became clear had a prejudice against the black African social workers. "Thick as fuck" was a comment made about two of the male workers, they weren't thick, they just had an accent and spoke a different flavour of English. She also used words like half-caste and coloured, even after I'd warned her not to use those words (mostly for her own sake). Didn't really have a bad bone in her body, generous to a fault and empathetic and caring of everyone.
I never doubted that she was racially prejudiced. But then she wasn't as cunning or careful with her words as Farage. Unlike her, he's a malevolent narcissist.
