FIRST YEAR! And since?
Even if there is a 50% error in numbers (which is beyond reasonable) I'll TAKE THE VACCINE OVER DEATH!

It's Farage at his absolute weakest - thin-skinned, easy to offend, and nurturing a persecution complex.
He’s a vile man, no intellectual ability, just attacks anyone who disagrees with him.
A Trumpian drip.
