UKIP's alignment with Tommy Robinson, is a legitimate concern. It's why Farage has distanced himself massively from UKIP. Leave.EU group now endorses Nigel's new political party, The Brexit Party.

Anyway, Nige was born in the year of the Dragon, so his lucky numbers are (weren’t) 1, 6, and 7 - 8 is one of his unlucky numbers...
