Make us.

We aren't in debt to the EU. You owe us a share of those Greek motorways and Eastern European factories we paid to build.

We pay more in so whatever we got, we could have paid for ourselves.

The EU owes us our assets.

While highly unlikely, it could technically used as a Casus Belli

EU could also go the Napoleon route and block out all British trade with the EU. since a whooping 60% of trade is made with the EU right now, UK economy would crash in an instant.

@bolded: That's not how it works, none of those were build with EU money. Especially not the factories, which were built there by corporations and other companies mainly because workers are cheaper there then, say, the UK.

'The EU could treat you like Iran'........fine, go for it.

We buy more from the EU than they buy from us. Block away. It's not like we aren't used to some continental power attempting to blockade us every few decades.

British manufacturing was paid/subsidised to move to eastern europe.
