The UK was also the sick man of Europe before they joined the EU predecessors.

The modern successful UK is almost certainly a consequence of closer collaboration with the EU.

Almost none of the reasons the UK was successful before are true anymore.

closer collaboration - closer compared to what? The share of the UK's total trade that was with the EEC/EU fell during the time it was a member.

Is it? Or just neoliberalism via Thacher making it more alluring to modern capitalism (succesful for society is another thing) and the same cheap credit flood in the 90s+ that happened across the West?
