Actually, the "Essay" was just answering the points you raised, and making the point that I think our own government is far more responsible for our current predicament than they will admit, and are happy to blame any outside organisation (the EU just happens to be handily available).
That no one knows what will happen is not my conclusion. Most of the articles I have read on the subject say know one nows, and even Nigel Farage has admitted it. I am therefore happy to regard it as a fact, and not merely a conclusion. I would even go so far as to argue that it is more factually correct than anything EITHER campaign has put out.
BTW, it is hard to quantify how much of our exports are to EU countries as a lot of the exports go to Rotterdam which is a hub, and are often sent on to other countries from there, but the Office for National Statistics estimates that around 46% of our exports DO go to EU countries..
