If I can find the article I will link to it.

I look forward to the link as it is facts like this that diminish the "Doom and Gloom" scenario that remainers are consistantly putting forward.
Once both brexiteers and remoaners wake up to the fact it is going to happen then sensible discussion can then take place.
Igni quite rightly picked me up on an error in my previous post in that the EU is responsible for 44% of exports, it still doesn't change the fact that it is only responsible of 15% of the economy and WTO rules could balance that 15% out.
If anyone else sees a mistake in my post or can post a genuine rebuttal I look forward to it.
The debate awaits.
