Nigel Farage Sugarcoats The Euro Situation UPDATE: Daniel Hannan Also Has Vague Pleasantries On Offer

by Smitty Here, watch this. See if you can figure out Farage’s real opinion of Brussels under all of the whitewash and indirection: Via American Power.

by The World’s Youngest Blogger On the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee, I should like to wish a merry day to England and Her Royal Highness.
