Forget Boris Johnson or Michael Gove, it could be a former Ukip candidate that convinces the nation to vote for Brexit. Mandy Boylett — the party’s former candidate for Stockton North — has recorded a parody version of Three Lions — titled ‘Britain’s Coming Home’:
‘We’re coming out, we’re voting leave
Believe in Britain coming homeScare stories already begun
We’ve seen it all before
From Lib/Lab and CameronBut we know the EU’s full of flaws
And they’ve opened our doors, overruled many laws
But we believe our flag’s red, white and blue
More than just a star
Only wanted trade, but now it’s gone too farThey want prisoners to vote
They’ve taken all our fish and money through the years
There’s endless regulations, red tape
It seems there’s no escape
Til the Leave vote takes shape
Let’s get out!’
Happily Boylett’s efforts have impressed the song’s co-creator David Baddiel so much that he is not planning to sue on copyright grounds.
Just to be clear: me and Frank didn't give permission for this.
