That is total crap from the Guardian. The UK has robust trade with the United States and many other nations that are not part of European Community. The UK is a net subsidizer to the European Community and not a net beneficiary. France sure as hell will not refuse to sell their cheese (they make good cheese) wine, Puegots etc. to the UK. If France imposes great taxes on UK products the UK will do the same to France, Germany etc.
This is nothing but scare tactics by the hard left wing Guardian which is a one worlder newspaper. The original concept of the European Economic Community was brilliant. It promoted free trade and commerce among its members. It was wildly successful. It slowly morphed into "European Government," which today is called the European Union. That is why the new European Union is failing. Individual nations do not want other nations determining their individual domestic policies and laws.
Modern _experts_ are a huge piece of the wrong; the lost.
