Britain lost its textile industry while in the EU


Which has nothing to do with the EU and everything to do with cheap
labour costs in third world countries.


And this really does sum up the logic of much of the brexit campaign.
"We were big and important before we joined the EU, so it must be the
EU's fault".


That has about nothing to do with the reasons for brexit


It's a common enough argument used by BREXIT. 'We don't need Europe - we
can re-establish free trade areas with the likes of the old commonwealth.'
A great deal of their reasoning seems to involve winding back the clock.

'Too many EU rules and regs' So it's fair to assume they'd want all of
those cancelled and go back to what was before. Even if it meant our goods
etc couldn't then be exported to the EU.
