Pregnant great white shark only heading to UK for the benefits, claim UKIP

The pregnant great white shark heading for UK waters is only doing so due to the lax attitude in providing benefits to foreigners, according to a UKIP spokesperson this morning.

UKIP’s immigration spokesperson Gerard Batten told reporters that the shark heading to the UK was just the latest in a long line of immigrants looking to personally gain from the overly generous benefits policies of successive UK governments.

He told those gathered, “I bet that great white shark thinks it’s getting job seekers allowance and a plasma TV – and it’s probably right.”

“Plus being pregnant it probably thinks it’ll jump to the head of the council house waiting list, which it no doubt will.”
