The interview transcript (published at both spannermedia.com and highprofiles.info) confirms that Farage was asked about having "despised" John Lennon's "Imagine" as a boy, and he responded affirmatively, explaining that the "Imagine there are no countries" sentiment "always struck me as bizarre." The interviewer references Farage's autobiography "Flying Free" as the source of this assertion, suggesting Farage wrote about this in his book as well. However, the claim at issue — that Farage despised the song "even as a boy" — is a claim about Farage's private feelings and state of mind during his childhood. There is no public evidence independent of Farage's own recollection that could confirm or contradict what he felt as a boy listening to a song. This is inherently a private, subjective experience from decades ago. The only evidence is Farage's own statement (both in his autobiography and in this interview), which per the evidence rules cannot serve as evidence about the world — it only confirms the act of utterance. No independent corroboration exists for a child's private emotional reaction to a pop song, and no public evidence could contradict it either. This falls squarely into the category of claims resting on non-public information (a claimed state of mind) that cannot be assessed from public sources. Sources: Huw Spanner, "Taking Liberties" (interview with Nigel Farage), https://highprofiles.info/interview/nigel-farage/ and http://www.spannermedia.com/interviews/Farage.htm — these sources confirm Farage made the statement but provide only self-reporting about a private childhood sentiment, which cannot be independently verified.
