Britain's fabulous Brexit song is even better than the Trump Girls Freedom song
Britain is to hold a referendum on leaving the European Union, and the "Brexit" grouplargely represented by the country's nativist UKIP partyhave a fabulous music video to promote their cause.

Theyve taken all our fish. And money
Through the years
Theres endless regulation, red tape
It seems theres no escape
Till the leave vote takes shape.
