Did something happen in 2016? Seems like you are not believing enough in the magic new trade deals

I don't no much about it but do the dates not tie in with covid as well? More so I should say

The evidence is there bp, the graph flat lined on 2016

Looks like the patient is dead, haha

[bpoolrover]

Does it not show it falls after the brexit vote as you would expect then go up and down during covid? Would a graph where no covid around be more realistic and not just after the referendum?

[SydneyRover]

bp maybe review what wilts said then have a look at the divergence of two lines on the graph at 2016, if you cannot see a problem then you probably won't notice the consequences either.

[bpoolrover]

I have Sydney hence giving my answer and I'm sure wilts will reply when online

Bpool.

Put a piece of paper over the right hand side of the graph to hide the 2020 and 2021 data.

The numbers come down from 2016 after the referendum which is obviously going to happen during that time then covid happened so not sure what the figures prove, if it's the same over 10-15 years then it is different of course

[BillyStubbsTears]

Why was it obviously going to come down after the referendum?  I thought we were told that Brexit would lead to a Britain that was open for business?

Far too sensible an opinion there bpool.
Get ready for some condescending responses.
