And Keith, in your last post you say:

"In fact it is thriving while our EU trade dwindles"

Which is nonsense, UK trade with the EU is increasing, and in 2017 was the highest it has ever been:

The EU share of UK trade has declined as other countries such as China, India, Brazil etc. have developed. But in absolute terms it is growing, indeed thriving, not dwindling.
