You can't have it both ways.
I am not trying to have it both ways. I am suggesting that nobody can give detailed figures to show the 'disadvantages' of Brexit. There are too many imponderables.

However, the issue is not how much worse off we will be, but how much better off. The opportunities are amazing, but just remember one thing. Similar levels of trade with the EU + new opportunities arising from a new, outwood looking UK = more trade (and therefore income) for the UK. It really is that simple. The detail is for the politicians to sort out, but many of the problems that we hear about are just being bumped up for effect.

Not long now, and you will see what I mean.
