Being in the EU enabled the UK to piggy back on it and play the big boy.
But on its own the weaknesses of the UK economy: the large deficits, the reliance on debt-fuelled conusmption, the tiny manufacturing sector, the over-reliance of foreign investment and a massive housing ponzi scheme will be painfully exposed.

To summarise, the UK is on route to economic disaster and an IMF bail out unless it does a U-turn.

[QUOTE]The IMF Crisis took place during James Callaghan's term as Prime Minister,[3] and caused the Bank of England to withdraw temporarily from the foreign exchange market.[4] After the defeat of the public expenditure white paper in the House of Commons in March 1976 and the resignation of Harold Wilson, many investors became convinced the pound would soon lose value due to inflation. By June 1976, the pound had reached a record low against the dollar.[2]
BTW, 1976 GBP to USD was 1.55 at its lowestLast edited by Paddy; 21 July 2017, 11:41."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
