Alien life beyond the solar system already eyeing up UK benefits system, warns Nigel Farage

Following the discovery of seven Earth-sized planets orbiting a nearby star, Nigel Farage has warned that alien civilisations could already be planning to take advantage of Britain’s “soft-touch” benefits system.

Highlighting data from a graph he discovered on the internet, Mr Farage warned that extraterrestrial intruders will stop at nothing in their quest for state handouts.

“I’ve seen compelling evidence from an impeccable source that aliens will almost certainly take on the identity of the indigenous population by sucking out their brains and replicating their DNA,” he said.

“Aliens in human form will put enormous pressure on our already struggling public services.

“Why aren’t the mainstream media reporting this?”

Ukip leader Paul Nuttall insisted the possibility of 20ft Muslimatron Qur’androids attacking Earth in giant space mosques is something the ‘establishment’ are trying to cover up.

“Nigel is absolutely right to point out the obvious dangers associated with things he doesn’t understand,” he said.

“I know from my own experiences with the colonial marine unit on the exomoon LV-426 that aliens have no respect for our British values.

“You’ll be able to read about it on my website when it’s back up.”
