Farage is right

I AM in complete agreement with Ukip leader Nigel Farage’s comments on stopping immigration for criminals who have committed serious offences such as murder and stopping ill people coming to Britain to use our overstretched health service for free.

For too long in this country, people have put up with this immigration fiasco and the great disadvantages of this to healthcare.

It is completely unacceptable that a convicted murderer from Europe could gain entry to the UK. In America, they would not even get entry as a tourist. This country is far too soft on immigration.

Nigel Farage says immigrants with HIV should not be allowed into Britain. As expected, one of the “usual suspects” jumps out to protest: Rosemary Gillespie of HIV charity the Terrence Higgins Trust said the remarks “show an outrageous lack of understanding”.

Why should the British taxpayer pick up the huge medical bill for foreigners? According to the UN, around 60 countries bar the entry of HIV-positive people.

No wonder Ukip is now a political party to be reckoned with.
