What proportion of those exports to the EU went to Rotterdam and then elsewhere in the world as opposed to actual customers in the EU?
My reasons for leaving the EU have nothing to do with Europe, they have to do with the flawed, bloated, out of touch bureaucracy which runs the EU and has time and time again proved itself to be either inept, duplicitous or even corrupt. Given the fine mess they've created in Europe, I'm wondering just why anyone would vote for more of the same.
When people finally woke up to the mess Labour had made of the UK during their tenure in office they were able to vote them out. They're still out now and thankfully not looking much like making a comeback any time soon. Not so within Eurolalaland where the same faceless suits repeat the same old mistakes year in year out and nobody can do anything about it..
Make no mistake a vote to remain is a vote for more of the same and probably worse since the mere fact that we had the temerity to seek a referendum will be used as a stick to beat us with for years to come.
We have to get out of this mess and I have no doubt that if we do, others will soon follow.
