Assuming you are right.......remind me what the imbalance of trade is between the UK and the EU? and what has changed so much that we are not (in your eyes) no longer the "sick man of Europe"?......remind me of the benefits that 40 years + of this ponzi scheme has brought us?

The stock market has gone up significantly due to the poor pound.

The poor pound is significantly down due to Brexit.

But the weak pound is good for business right? Look at TATA Steel, they were looking to sell lock stock and barrel before Brexit. Now the pound has devalued they aren't so quick to sell because orders have increased.

A disastrous Brexit will lead to the pound devaluing not rising.

But the decreased value of the pound means that imports into this country cost more.
