Some nonsense about Brand taking a line in the capital (8)
I believe the answer is:
brussels
'capital' is the definition.
(capital of Belgium)
'some nonsense about brand taking a line' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'line' could be 'el' (el is a kind of line) and 'el' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brussels that I've seen before include "sprout?" , "European capital" , "European Commission HQ" , "capital city" , "Belgian capital" .)
