Btw fwiw it wasn't the EU but Maggie Thatcher (probably another one of your heroes like brexit) who put the nail in the coffin of manufacturing in this country. She felt (rightly or wrongly) that we couldn't complete with the cheaper resources and labour abroad, not just in Europe but the rest of the world and changed us into one big banking and service industry. And her monetarist policies resulting in high interest rates killed exports. And it was her policies that created the north (industrial)/south (capitalist) divide. All the worst characteristics of modern Britain which you have a grievance with were born under her.
You raised manufacturing, and when it's pointed out to you that manufacturing was killed by Thatcher, and how it was done, and for what eventual outcome, you shout miners....it was the EU a couple of posts ago.
As one of her economic gurus from the 80s, Patrick Minford, said about the tariffs that we'd face without staying in the Single Market, "Britain losing its manufacturing base would be no bad thing". To be fair to the guy, he was the only Brexiter who was actually honest and frank about what we'd face, another being Sarah Woolaston who was a Brexiteer right up to a few weeks before the referendum, and quit Leave to go to Remain (AFTER the polls started predicting a Leave win, it must be said) because she said the Northern Ireland Peace Protocol was in danger unless guarantees were made that we'd stay in the CU and SM.
Don't confuse the issue with facts mate. No realities of the ****show that brexit has become. Lets talk about Britain under Harold Macmillan instead
Schapps was literally blaming the rail strike on Harold Wilson today. Meghan Markle will be pleased that the Hate isn't blaming her anymore. For now.
