He spoke to Nick Ferrari as the party prepared to launch its campaign for the upcoming EU elections on May 23rd.
The blunt slogan appears only on a “special edition” of the booklet.
Sir Vince said: “I have two grandchildren, I think they both have a sense of humour and I hope the electorate do too.
“It’s just a way of making in a simple, straightforward way that we have a clear, honest, unambiguous message about Brexit.”
