UKIP leader Nigel Farage has urged Worcester's voters to deliver a "clean cut divorce" from the EU - urging them to change the course of history.

As part a whirlwind UK tour Mr Farage took part in a dramatic Q&A at Worcestershire County Cricket Club, where he laid into David Cameron for "shameful deceit" on the European Union.

He told a packed audience the Prime Minister and his wife Samantha must have a Farage effigy they "stick pins in every night" over the referendum hostilities.

During a sit-down interview with the Worcester News, he also upped the ante for next week's local elections by insisting UKIP's polling is on a par with 2013, when the party took four seats at Worcestershire County Council and almost 150 nationwide.

During a humorous Q&A packed with cricketing metaphors, he said: "I see rain has stopped play - well that's exactly what I want to do to this utterly dishonest Prime Minister David Cameron.

Worcester News:

"He chose to spend £10 million of your money to produce a leaflet telling us the 'non-benefits' of the EU - we've got a Prime Minister who could never, ever play with a straight bat.

"Do you know what I did with mine? I went straight up Downing Street and I posted it right back through his bloody door."

During rapturous applause from the audience also poured scoured on Chancellor George Osborne's claim that every UK householder would be £4,300 worse off under the EU.

"This is a Chancellor who has difficulty predicting the Budget deficit in three weeks time, yet he seems to want to tell us how we'll all be doing in 2030," he said.

"It's absolutely shameful, but they know opposition to the EU is growing right across the continent."

Speaking last night, said a 'Brexit' was achievable if enough people get out and vote.

"Once a European law is made, whether it's a good law or a bad law, as a British parliament, as a democracy we cannot change one single dot or comma of it," he said.

"This vote will without doubt be the most significant any of you have in your whole lives.

"But I'll tell you what will 'win' this referendum? Getting people to actually vote - the key to this, as with all elections, is to get them down to that local primary school, on what we hope will be a blazing Thursday in June, and take part."

Worcester News:

During questions from the audience he repeatedly mocked both former and ex-members of the Government, including the pro-EU Nick Clegg, and told them Britain should reclaim its strong bond with the Commonwealth after a Brexit.

"Cameron is a Prime Minister who claims victory because a few of his friends allow him to reduce the tax on tampons," he said.

"I don't know whether to laugh or cry, is that what we have sunk too?"

During his visit he also praised Worcester for its military history, pointing to the Worcestershire Regiment's crucial actions in the World War One (see the video above).

WE CAN DO BETTER THAN IN 2013, SAYS FARAGE

LAST night the UKIP leader told this newspaper how confident he was for next week's elections - saying it could be like 2013 all over again.

Three years ago, amid glowing concern over Europe Mr Farage stunned the larger parties by getting almost 25 per cent of the votes in the council elections across Britain.

It led to UKIP winning 147 council seats, including four at Worcestershire County Council, grabbing a foothold at County Hall for the first time - although that number has now reduced to two.

Mr Farage told the Worcester News he felt the support was still out there for next week's counts.

UKIP is contesting 11 of the 12 seats up for grabs at Worcester City Council this Thursday, and fielding Peter Jewell as its hopeful for the police and crime commissioner count.

"We've looked at the polling and we are now where were in 2013, or doing even better," he said.

"It's fantastic, unbelieveable."

He also claimed the 'remain' camp was trying to urge people to vote to stay in by scaremongering.

"I think they intend to win this by using project 'fear', or in the case of Barack Obama project 'threat'," he said.

"Because I think he was threatening us, I'm not for that, are you?"

He also said he wanted to see more council devolution, and was "relaxed" about giving more powers to Scotland and Wales after a Brexit.

"I'm pro-devolution, I get it - I'm relaxed about it and I'd also like to see proper devolution to England and the end of the old Uniform Business Rates," he said.
