The UK was declared measles free in 2017.
Vaccine programs completely eliminated it.
Since then, pro sickness conspiracy theorists and anti science idiots have enabled its return.

100% correct
The main argument against rejoining the EU is that it would "embolden Farage".
Bullshit. It would expose Farage.
It would force him to oppose the majority of voters, remind them that his last "Great Crusader" left us poor and powerless, and force him to admit he wants us to remain that way.

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

1. Back in the early 80s I had a penfriend in Japan. We shared a love of music and she sent me a cassette tape of an artiste called Akiko Yano - descrbied as the Joni Mitchell of Japanese music. I played that tape to death, and eventually it broke or I lost it or something.

How long before we see the first American defection?
This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”
