Nigel Farage is worried about ventilators coming from China – only 5 replies you need
The UK is one of a number of countries waiting to get lifesaving equipment including ventilators from China in the battle to contain the coronavirus outbreak.
Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader and whatever he does these days, went on Twitter – naturally – to ask whether ventilators made in China was, you know, a wise move.
I hear that the UK Government are buying ventilators from China, yes China. Can this be true?

Yes, Nigel, China! And these are the only 5 replies you need.
Apparently that's where ventilators are made. Such a shame. I think we should wait a couple of years and get some nice blue British ones and in the mean time wrap our faces in Union Jacks. https://t.co/ytokWhsi7b

Perhaps you could organise a list of people who aren’t prepared to be treated with a Chinese made ventilator? I assume your name will be at the top.

Why not Nigel?? It's called international trade. It's also called getting essential supplies from somewhere that actually has them now not in May

If I get ill and they try to stick me on a CHINESE VENTILATOR – NO WAY! I didn't fight in two World Wars to be kept alive by FOREIGN TECHNOLOGY!! Only PROPER BRITISH VENTILATORS made by Foggy from Last of the Summer Wine from a bicycle pump and Nora Batty's bra!

To conclude …
I hear that some of our most notorious racists are struggling to find new targets for their sick-making xenophobia? Can this be true? https://t.co/sO17XTkEVZ
