The truth is you are just quoting figures without comprehending the true nature of what you are quoting!!
I could go in to more detail if you like, or maybe you should explain exactly what constitutes our 'service' industry that you think is so overly critical to our international trading arrangements.
I'm sure that our 'service industries' are more diverse than most people are aware, though I can't possibly list them all.
One 'service industry' of which I am aware, however, is university education and research which attracts people from all over the world. Our 'better' universities are still regarded as some of the best, and we even attract many Americans and those from other 'first world' countries.
Even having left the EU Empire, I am absolutely sure that we shall continue to benefit from such people flocking to this country and spending their (or their home countries') money. Even Marge's old employer - not even a Russell Group member - was very highly regarded amongst middle eastern countries whose governments paid handsomely for their services.
I am equally sure that, however much it might upset the EU dictators, we shall still see such people coming from other European countries.
