Farage: "All over the world, you apply for a work visa - that visa is for you. Not to bring your family... That is how a normal work visa works."
Entirely untrue.
Most work visas allow dependents, including in countries that the UK competes with for labour - US, Canada, Australia and 27 EU states.

CMV is the leading cause of birth defects in the US—more common than Down Syndrome, yet most parents have never heard of it.
Most of us carry this virus harmlessly, but it can impact pregnancies with lifelong consequences.
