The claim misattributes a statement to Huw Spanner that actually belongs to Nigel Farage. In the interview, Huw Spanner is the interviewer, and he says to Nigel Farage: "You tell us that as a boy you were proud of the fact that you could argue for anything, from a flat Earth to feminism." The "you" refers to Farage, not Spanner. Farage himself responds, "Yes. Oh yes – and I still could," confirming this was something he wrote about himself in his autobiography *Flying Free* (originally published as *Fighting Bull*). The published interview transcript on both High Profiles and Spanner's own website confirms this structure. The claim is therefore false in its attribution: it was Nigel Farage who was proud as a boy of being able to argue for anything from a flat Earth to feminism, not Huw Spanner.
