Here we go again. I won't believe it until there are actual picture or someone gets attacked ( is Mr Corbyn going there on his Summer hols? ). Most Likely to be a large Porbeagle or my Wife.

As someone who regularly swims a fair distance out to sea, these things do play on the mind, especially when you look back at the beach, the people are just dots and there's nothing but deep water all around you...and then you start a manic crawl stroke back to shore before a great white has your legs/torso away.

Indeed - scaremongering! Like the mayor of Amity Island, I'll need a lot more evidence before I start to panic, preferably a death or two. I hope the tourist industry around the island is unaffected by this bull.

I have always considered myself a good swimmer, but the actual thought of going in the water far out to sea anywhere absolutely fills me with dread, it genuinely scares me and always has.

To put the risk in context, the odds of being killed by a shark are 239,998,500 greater than the odds on Brighton winning the Premier League this season. :)

Can you imagine Corbyn being eaten by a Great White, he would probably even try to blame that on May as it ripped his head off.

I've seen some enormous jellyfish in the sea between the end of the pier and the marina. I think they worry me more than the sharks!

Sea temp rising year on year so not out of the question plus they are probably fed up with eating yanks and are sampling other delicacies our seas provide .

It'll be a basking shark.

And every fu*king year it's a basking shark.
