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 home

Scare stories already begun

We've seen it all before

From Lib/Lab and Cameron

But 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 far

They 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.
