“Monkeys must disperse once their tree falls” Chinese Proverb
We said no to the euro,
What a good decision,
Although at the time
It was met with derision
By those who said,
If you can remember, perhaps,
Our trade would plummet,
The pound would collapse.
Fast forward to today,
And what do you see?
Against a euro in trouble
The pound strong and free,
And our economy stronger
Than our European friends,
Yet we were told on joining the euro
Our future depends.
The crisis in Greece
Should make us think
That a chain is as strong
As its weakest link,
And the EU chain
Could be falling apart,
And a weak link like Greece
Could just be a start.
Independence from the euro
Kept this country strong,
Independent from the EU
Is surely where we belong;
Free to trade
With whom we choose,
And our trade with the EU
Why would we lose?
The same scaremongering
Will occur, that’s for sure
By those who believe
Britain’s not Great anymore,
But part of a federal Europe
Is no way to go,
When it comes to the EU
We need to say no.

The UK’s Just a Satellite State
“The EU is now so different
From the Common Market we joined,
That simple trade agreement
Along the way’s been purloined;
And now we’re just a satellite
Of a European federal state,
With appointed socialist commissars
Deciding our country’s fate…..”
I Had a Dream We’d Left the EU
“I had a dream as I slept in my bed last night,
Of a Britain being ruled just by Brits;
Not by faceless bureaucrats, socialist commissars,
Based in Brussels, where the EU sits….”
