Confirmed: Ukip would let St George into the country

It’s St George’s Day so to celebrate Ukip held a press conference where they gifted red and white jester hats adorned with St George’s flags to journalists. Talk soon turned to the real crux of the matter: as a foreigner of alleged Turkish descent, would Ukip have allowed St George entry into the country?

Patrick O’Flynn was on hand to answer the pressing immigration query:

‘If Ukip were in power in the third century then yes I suppose St George would be allowed in the country. He is a skilled migrant, he could slay dragons.’

A Ukip party spokesman has since gone one step further and suggested that St George would even be allowed into the country in the present day were Ukip in power, as ‘a points based system’ would look fondly on his case.

It may not have even been an issue, however, as Christopher Howse writes in this week’s issue of the Spectator that little is really known about St George, including where he was from.
