But that's it point. The UK has taken other knocks that are not necessarily brexit relates. E.g. We took a greater hit on natural gas prices.
So to blame this on Brexit alone seems premature based on this data set.
What would be interesting if to take this same metric from the beginning of the eurozone and compare uk, us and the EU.

Don't forget what the British were doing during that period.

It's a great metric as it accounts for a lot.
My only critic it is not the goal on brexit as much as you think.
I am 100% against Brexit but playing devils advocate. We entered the EEC is the late 60. If you look at the graph, we took a greater knock then vs now.
Edit: we joined in 73, but the point remains.

Yea, I think you need to clarify.
Looks like you are mixing series and movies hence the super short "movies"
