Firstly, I see no reason to insult me as I have never insulted you, it's my experiance that poeple who resort to name calling and ESPECIALLY if they have resort to being a gramma nazi, really have no significant counter argument.
Secondly, don't get mad if some one points out something you don't like, that graph was not mine but was from the gaurdian, if those facts and figures are wrong belly ache to them not me.
Thirdly, there are well over three quarters of the worlds contries that are not in the single market and trade quite happily with the EU including USA, China, Australia and so on (presumably profitably); being in the single market is crutial to Britian is complete scare mongering hogwash from the remain camp. From what I read, it all depended on how the other EU members reacted to the UK leaving, if they were bad, Britian (as a worse case scenario) could lose 2% of it's GNP per year, best case scenario it could GAIN up to 2%, so it's not force to be all doom and gloom you seem to have convinced yourself off - IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE OUT COME OF NEGOTIATIONS THAT HAVE NOT STARTED YET.
Fourthly: the figures are there, the UK contributes much more to the EU than it gets back, it even gets back much less than other contributers, what I have never seen (certainly not from you), but ask on many occasions; what finantially is the amount recieved by the UK by being in the single market? Further more why would trade to the UK, (which incidentally imports TWICE the amount from the EU than the EU receives from us), just end?
Fithly, I'm dyslexic has I have stated on numerous occasions, if you had read any of my posts (rather than knee jerk to one of them) you would have known this.
Sixthly, and talking about you not having read my posts, I didn't vote, I didn't see any where where there would be a SIGNIFICANT loss OR gain by being in or out of the EU

Yes becasue one of the richest, most powerful countries win the world, that is in NATO and WILL have significant trade ties with the EU as well as the rest of the world, not to mention existed for hundreds of years OUTSIDE the EU under much more difficult circumstances, would just cease to be able to function the moment it leaves the single market it's been in all of 40 years in it's entire history.
Lastly, stop turning a blind eye to facts and figures you don't like if they don't fit you rose tinted view of the EU.
