UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage has defended comments suggesting immigrants who are HIV-positive should not be allowed to come to the UK.

In an interview in Newsweek Europe, Mr Farage said he wanted to "control the quantity and quality of people who come... people who do not have HIV".

Mr Farage later told the BBC he would extend the ban to "people with tuberculosis too".

Campaigners have condemned the UKIP leader's comments.

What the dimwits (who support Ukip) don't realise is that this bunch of fruit-bats are far more right wing than anything experience before.

They are "smiling" BNP !

... and we all know who would be the first to face the firing squad's, don't we?

No - it was the Ukip people who says that gays had caused the floods !

Even the founder of Ukip quit because they are "nasty racist right wingers"

On 21 April 2008, Bob Spink became the first member of Parliament for the United Kingdom Independence Party, saying that "positive and sensible co-operation with the EU does not require us to sell the British people down the river or to give our independence away".[6][7] He later found himself at odds with his new-found colleagues over the issue of whether or not to extend the amount of time a suspect can be detained without charge from 28 to 42 days. He voted for the bill, but UKIP opposed it.

Following the arrest of Shadow Immigration Minister, Damian Green, and the searching of Green's House of Commons office on suspicion of "procuring misconduct in public office" for passing leaked Government documents to journalists, the House of Commons debated whether it was right that the police should be given access to an MP's office and to remove his computers and constituency correspondence. Spink voted with the Government, and against the position set out by the UKIP leadership, on both the Government's motion and an amendment tabled by backbench MPs. The amendment, which would have meant that the committee looking into whether correct procedures had been followed, was defeated by 4 votes.

In 2009 he tabled an Early Day Motion (EDM) to ban the British Humanist Association atheist bus campaign posters from appearing on public transport. The EDM attracted 12 votes.[8]

He is opposed to abortion and supports reintroduction of capital punishment. He is against research into animal chimeras and refers to those involved in or supporting human bioengineering as "dark forces".[9]

In the 2010 election, Spink lost his seat to Conservative Rebecca Harris.

Superb job again ITK, dodging questions thrown at you about bigots in the Tories.

Correct Andrew.

ITK is an expert at avoiding most questions.

Debate is not his forte.

Although frequently saying the the current government is clearing up the mess of the previous (Labour) government - he is unable to comment/explain/expound on the fact that the coalition has almost doubled the UK National Debt in only 4 years.

Unprecedented - and a sure sign of a weak government, with limited options.

That' just one way he pisses people off. He moans about UKIP and UKIP supporters he thinks it's just a protest blip he can't be more wrong.

DM are now worrying about their growth.

I'm delighted by the success of UKIP which is, after all, the only important thing, a good story. But, like the SDP and others, it's not even worth thinking about their policies as they are simply a protest vote and will disappear in the general (stupid) election. Not that it matters but ghastly Tories or lethal Labour will get most votes/seats and the Lib Dems will again hold the balance of power. We are in an era of coalition which will be no better and no worse than all the rest of democratic society which does not work.

Quite right, JK

21 years from formation to getting their first elected MP(*) is not a massive achievement !
At this rate it will take a millenia for them to get a majority !
(.... and Sinn Fein STILL have more MPs than they do !)

(*) One Tory MP - Bob Spink - defected to them in 2008 - but did not stand for re-election. He was kicked out 2 years later when the voters returned to the (new) Tory candidate !

after all, who remembers ....

The Common Wealth Party (with 5 MPs) ? NO ? What about ...

The Crofters Party (with 4 MPs) ? NO ? Let's try something easier ...

Independent Labour (with 3 MPs) ?

Democratic Labour ?

.... you must ALL remember the

Independent Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern Party surely ???

Still does not answer SP17 question ITK.

Poor andrew .... you do have to feel sorry for him, don't you?

He thinks all of Labour's debts disappear when there is a change of government. He doesn't realise that the debt is still there - and needs to be paid off ! In the meantime compound interest is driving the debt up.

The scroungers have not disappeared (unfortunately) - and the cuts need to be more severe to make significant impact.

All the Coalition's cuts (and every department has been cut except Health and Education) are doing is preventing the debt getting any worse (a Labour government would continue to spend - and ADD to the debt - until the IMF said "no more").

Then there would be no (free) money - for anyone.

Right that was SP17's question answered. You missed out the expenses by our MPs who swindle the tax payers, IDS failed plans which are now written off the list goes on ITK

What about the bigots in the Tory Party which you love to ignore ?

There are some bigots and lunatics in every party. Politics attracts them and a bit of power makes them worse.

You are constantly hijacking other people's threads and going off at a tangent.

If you want to say something start your own thread - and we'll see who bothers to reply.

In 2010, the National Debt was £760 billion - when the coalition came into government.

Do you know what is now?

(clue; nearly doubled)


Why make meaningless/erroneous statements?

You slate UKIP. When the Tories make similar comments about the gays, Nazis and immigrants you turn a blind.
