Nigel is like Marmite - you either love him or hate him.
He is perhaps the most successful politician of the 21st century. The establishment took us into the EU - Nigel took us out (with a little help from his friends) and he did it in some style.
Watching him tonight, I am reminded that he knows how to work a crowd!
Here he is giving the 4th Jillian Becker Lecture for the Freedom Association - and he hasn't lost his form.
Introduced by David Campbell-Bannerman (you can skip the 9 minute introduction if you wish):
" ... there is a problem ... over the course of now nearly 50 years, the state has just got bigger, and bigger, and bigger ... and all that politicians do, and all that lobby groups do, is to constantly campaign for the state to get bigger still ... and I sense that one of the reasons that people ... don't value freedom, and don't value liberty, is because frankly, the welfare state ... has actually made us a part of the state, stopped us thinking, stopped us being critical ... "
He's nailed it.
" ... It's going to be very difficult to win back against the surveillance state ... against the information technology state ... but there are big battles that we can fight, and that we can win ... "
"Brexit has not been completed. We now need Brexit 2.0"
and more ...
