I wrote this in 1997, it was true then and it is true now.   I warned about the Commonweath last year when Cameron and Hague went to that meeting and by the time you read this, YOU WILL SEE exactly what is in store for the UK Over-seas Territories, AND SOME PEOPLE THINK THE COALITION GOVERNMENT WILL GIVE A REFERENDUM ON COMING OUT OF THE EU?  Absolute treachery.

I liken the EU to an Octopus, its tentacles stretching wide,
Gently caressing E.F.T.A.  Members, before dragging them inside,
They will welcome you as "members", so join without a fuss,
But once you have signed the Treaty, you will then be just like us.

There is so much you can contribute--Like your oil and of course your fish,
The Spanish will really love you for fish is their favourite dish.

Switzerland would be most welcome, with all its lovely banks,
They will hold and manage their money with ever-grateful thanks.
There isn't one tiny little thing that has been overlooked,
Everything except the air we breathe is in that leather book.

Down to the hidden depths you will go, like that octopus in the sea,
To eventually crush and devour you, then you will be truly just like ME.
