We didn't join the EU until 1974 so it's relevent to consider the UK's fortunes in the early seventies to that shortly after joining: The UK experienced the highest inflation rate in it's history for several years peaking at a mind boggling 25%, stagnant growth and industrial chaos. A co-incidence?
