But perhaps you can come to the conclusion by asking yourself this.
If to export the articles, you currently sell in the EU, to other countries is easy, why would UK businesses not enter these markets now, before brexit. A business is always looking for opportunities to expand. That they are not doing so now, implies that expanding is not easy.
I know, you are prepared to suffer for sovereignty, for freedom. You can take your lesson from christianity. After the lord suffered on the cross, his disciples got wisdom at pentacost. After you and your young have suffered from brexit, your generation has died suffering, the young get wise and apply for EU membership.
About 80 odd % of our companies don't deal with EU at all. Way I see it we are all supporting about 20% of companies. We could use that money to support many other things.
And please don't use my religion in this way I know it's the done thing these days to treat christians badly but there is no need for it in threads like these. IME many many young people are pro brexit, they are being served very badly but EU and our government and are pretty angry about being told what they think.
