So did he say that? Unfortunately I can't access the DT article other than a quick glimpse before the Account overlay covers the text. So I turned to Google but the only reference by Google was the same DT article that I cannot access. So move to ChatGPT. I asked "did nigel farage say "no dogs, no blacks, no irish"" and this is what it responded ...sionascaig wrote: ↑Sun Sep 07, 2025 12:38 pmMaybe best asking the Daily Telegraph?

"There’s no credible evidence that Nigel Farage himself ever uttered the phrase “no dogs, no blacks, no Irish.” Instead, these words appear in his statements recounting others’ experiences, not as declarations he made.
What Nigel Farage did say
In March 2015, amid controversy over his suggestion to roll back race-discrimination laws, several outlets quoted him referencing that phrase—but attributing it to the past, not his own words. For example, Sadiq Khan criticized Farage’s stance by saying:
“When my parents moved to London they frequently saw signs saying ‘no blacks, no dogs, no Irish’; what Ukip is suggesting would take us back to those days.”
Farage did not claim he said that phrase—rather, others invoked it to illustrate how discriminatory signage was supposedly common in the past.
Were such signs historically real?
Many people remember seeing signs stating “No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs” in post-war Britain. For instance, one Londoner recalled such a handwritten sign in the 1950s, and another immigrant from the 1960s said, “When I went looking for digs it was standard to see signs saying ‘No blacks, no dogs, no Irish’.”
However, historical verification is weak. A 2015 Guardian article concluded:
“The specific phrase ‘No Irish, no blacks, no dogs’ lacks verifiable historical evidence… the widely circulated photograph… is of uncertain provenance, possibly staged for a 1980s exhibition.”
A 2024 Reuters fact-check confirmed that a famous photo showing that phrasing was altered, and that “there is no evidence to support the claim” that such signs were once common in Britain. Only a single, uncertain photograph exists.
Summary table
Did Farage say "no dogs, no blacks, no Irish"? No — the phrase was used by others referencing historical discrimination, not by Farage himself.
Did such signs exist historically? Possibly anecdotal, but no solid evidence the phrase was widespread. One uncertain photo and numerous personal memories exist, but no archival or parliamentary records confirm it.
Bottom Line
Nigel Farage did not say “no dogs, no blacks, no Irish.” That phrase was used by others (e.g., Sadiq Khan) to describe discriminatory signs they said existed decades earlier.
While some people recall such signs, historians and fact-checkers have not found robust proof they were common—making the phrase more symbolic of perceived past attitudes than a documented widespread practice."
So there you have it, the only person quoted by ChatGPT as using that phrase publicly is that well known anti-Caucasian racist, Sadiq Khan!
I guess I should thank you for giving me the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how issues are twisted and prove that if a lie is repeated often enough it is seen as true. Perhaps the only racists here are those that have used the term to dishonestly label Farage!
My apologies for posting this in the Trading only thread but the truth will out.
