Nigel Farage has repeated his reasoning for comments he made about foreign HIV patients in Britain.
During an election debate earlier this month, the Ukip leader objected to those from abroad who test positive for the virus automatically getting drugs on the NHS.
At a question-and-answer session in Essex last night, he stuck by his remarks, which critics had described as "stomach-churning".
"What's stomach-churning is we're saying to men and women in their 80s we can’t give you the drugs for cancer treatment (but) we're prepared to open up to the rest of the world."
