“Major corruption alert in Brussels,” Farage said in a short video posted to social media after news of the arrests in the Belgian capital, which is also the European Union’s main centre of power, continued to develop on Sunday.
“Yes, a big police raid yesterday morning, 16 MEPs’ houses raided, five arrests, 600,000 euros found in sock drawers and it cupboards,” he claimed, perhaps embellishing the finer details.
“Belgian press say it’s Qatari money, it’s cash for lobbying — we don’t yet know the truth. What we do know is it’s a huge, massive scandal; what we do know is, because I was there for nearly 21 years, Brussels runs on a sea of total corruption,” said Farage, who was indeed a leading Member of the European Parliament as leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and the Brexit Party, now Reform UK, for decades.

Blogger: I have no reason to think that Nigel is any more a Christian than Boris - giving thanks to God and all - but I do recall those happy days before Ukip became toxic and infiltrated by the likes of rightist Ann Marie Waters. (Shudder!)
Nigel certainly offered help to the Christian Soldiers magazine. (I still receive the occasional copy in the post.)
