Why the EU call us Treasure Island

No wonder the EU don't want the UK to leave...

Since Referendum, EU27 have made over £¼ TRILLION from goods sales to UK - net

Average net earnings for EU27 from UK are now c.€10 billion per month
No wonder they want to stop us leaving. On Thursday the EU’s official statistics agency released its latest trade figures, for the period up to March 2019.
In the last quarter the EU made more from the UK than from its top 15 trading partners combined

Re: Why the EU call us Treasure Island

As I said elsewhere


"The desperation of Solasch and the rest of the 4 horsemen to prevent us leaving the EU should be enough to arouse suspicion of their motivation. It couldn't have anything to do with our financial contribution, could it?"

It must be. I can't see any other reason for being so interested in what we do. I doubt they would be so bothered if Cyprus or Estonia wanted to leave.

Exactly what I was about to say LD.
Imagine if we were Luxembourg or Latvia instead. Nobody would give a toss about us would they. What do they have to offer?
Our knowledge of trade deals and generally everything else is world class. Except for our expertise in running a country and making decisions politically is concerned - that is terrible.

Oh I agree but I don't think that's going to happen.
