So...if we leave the EU, the EU will put sanctions on us, like mother Russia? If that is the way it is to be, I'd rather be piss poor and cold in the winter, oh, look, I am already. I don't want to be part of that corrupt club anyway.
The EU exports, we are the importers. We can deal with other countries and take their nuclear waste and bury it in national parks and have big open cast mines like they do in Oz.

The thing is that much of this statistic is rigged, due to us importing stuff we already can produce, very cheaply, hmmm, stuff like beef and grains for example, thanks to the stupid EU rules. Strip the EU rigged fat away and you are looking at more 15%
The way it is rigged at the moment is that we import a steer, but also produce one here, that counts as 50% export to the EU.
Besides what are Lidl and all the rest of the foreign owned utilities and public services going to do? They need us, not the other way around.
Besides countries like Germany that have no domestic market and rely purely on exports are at the whim of global trade and finance, they will crumble when the world goes awry.
If you are a plant nursery here, you are up against the council whims and their taxes to expand, also DEFRA will try and close you down. Meanwhile in Holland or Germany, you get grants thrown at you and you just passport off your infected stock and export it to the UK. Germany gets to have open cast coal mines, coal powered power stations (Voted in by the people who rejected Nuclear). It is the largest producer of lignite in the world. They also have a tax on non national EU vehicles on their roads and exemptions to benefits for EU citizens. What do we get? A bunch of foreign owned, antiquated under invested infrastructure and brown outs, despite sitting on some of the largest coal reserves in the world.
Not exactly a level playing field this EU nonsense is it?

The more centralised the government is, the less the people are empowered to reject being screwed by global corporations
It does seem bizarre to suggest that businesses that sell to Europe and currently benefit from not having to worry about import tariffs would be better off if we left and they couldn't sell across Europe. That's what they saying with the conclusion of that article. Which also comes after the earlier one they wrote about a small business threshold being retained yet seems to completely ignore it.
These rules came about from the whole desire to have big corporations pay tax for business they do in a country, rather than be able to pick and choose where they pay tax. Unfortunately the more loopholes you allow the more they'll take advantage of.
