UK Election: Nigel Farage

by  • 

I wrote this piece originally for March edition of The Astrological Journal. Like a certain Transylvanian immigrant, Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party, has a habit of rising from the dead. Just when his enemies think it’s all over, there he is again climbing out of his coffin with a Rothman’s in one hand and a pint of beer in the other. He has almost died twice – for real.
