Poll: Is Nigel Farage right to suggest migrants with HIV should not enter the UK?

With Ukip leader Nigel Farage under fire after suggesting that migrants with HIV should be prevented from entering the UK, we want to know what you think.

Mr Farage reportedly said preventing people with the condition entering the country would be a 'good start' in controlling the UK's borders.

The chief executive of HIV/Aids charity Terrence Higgins Trust accused Mr Farage of stooping to a 'new level of ignorance' and Labour MP David Lammy said he was 'trying to revive the very worst bigotry' of the 1980s.

In an interview with Newsweek Europe, Mr Farage set out the changes he would like to see, including a block on convicted killers being allowed into the UK, referring to the prime suspect in the Alice Gross murder case.

Convicted killer Arnis Zalkalns, from Latvia, was found hanged in Boston Manor Park, west London, on October 4, near where Alice was last seen on August 28 as she walked back to her family home in Hanwell.

"It's simple. That Latvian convicted murderer shouldn't have been allowed here," Mr Farage said.

Mr Farage said Ukip 'want to control the quantity and quality of people who come' to the UK.

The Daily Mail reported that, asked by Newsweek whether 'quality' meant people without a murder conviction, he answered: "Yes. And people who do not have HIV, to be frank. That's a good start. And people with a skill. That is what Britain should do."
