Bigger risks, bigger profits. We did great before the EU and will do great after the EU.

"We did great before the EU"

When? In the late 1800s?

We joined the EC in 1973 partly due to falling behind economically to Western European powers within

The UK did not do great before the EU. In the 1960s it was considered the "sick man of Europe". That was the reason they wanted to join the EEC in the first place (and were refused twice by De Gaulle).
