This is the moment a fisherman from the 'Fishing for Leave' campaign sprayed Sir Bob Geldof's ship in a bizarre political clash on the Thames.

Groups led by Sir Bob and Nigel Farage faced off on the river today over the upcoming EU vote.

Mr Farage this morning led a flotilla of upto 35 fishing boats up the Thames to campaign for Brexit.

But the flotilla was greeted by a boat carrying remain supporters including Sir Bob Geldof, with a sounds system blaring out Chicago's hit 'If you leave me now.'

In response to this, some of the fishing boats have allegedly fired water at the remain vessels from hoses.

Mikey Smith, aboard the remain boat, tweeted: "Shots fired! A leave vessel just hit remain supporters with a hose."
