Nigel Farage fumes after being told he’s a ‘big joke in Europe’

Farage’s message came shortly after Boris Johnson announced tough new restrictions across London and much of South-East England.

People under Tier 4 restrictions are being asked to stay home for Christmas while all non-essential shops are being told to shut as the government puts measures in place to stem a new, fast-spreading strain of coronavirus in the UK.

Venting on Twitter, Farage posted: “Christmas cancelled. Thank you, China.”

Weihua called Farage “Trump’s puppet” and a “big joke in Europe” before telling him to don a mask and “stop talking sh*t”.

Farage replied that China should “pay the West reparations” over the economic damage caused by the virus.
