Britain is exporting more goods to countries outside the European Union than to countries inside for the first time since the UK joined the Common Market in the 1970s, official statistics show. And this comes from what I call The Torygraph.

I listen to what they have to say and sometimes it makes my day. Most of them should change career and become stand-up comics but they do not and never have influenced my vote. Like you I consider myself politically savvy since the age of 16 and make my own mind up. The Single Market in my honest opinion is not a good enough reason to vote to stay in the EU. See my post from the Telegraph. I scour the net looking for facts to back up my statements on here unlike some who seem to spout the same garbage the In or Out Campaigns feed them. I agree wholeheartedly with you on this.
Your Telegraph link is from nearly 4 years ago, for March-May 2012.

Here are some more recent stats, which support your premise.
