UKIP Leader Nigel Farage rolled into Dudley on his battle bus yesterday, with the theme from The Great Escape blaring from the speakers.

He was greeted in the town’s market place by cheering crowds who came to hear him persuade people to vote for Britain’s exit from the EU.

He was joined by local UKIP activists, including Sedgley councillor and West Midlands MEP Bill Etheridge.

The British referendum on the EU takes place on Thursday June 23.
