Nigel Farage is back! Earlier this week, Nigel Farage returned to the UK political scene to bring “leadership” to the Brexit process. You can see him discussing his return here: When I used to live in Brussels, I met him briefly a couple of times. This would be perhaps ten or more years ago. I… » read more
