No.

I was taught that at school, but it' not correct. It's a myth. The UK was Europe's biggest recipient of Marshall Plan money.

See this article by Cambridge historian Corelli Barnett.

This infographic using United States Department of State figures illustrates it nicely.

Bloody EU putting tariffs on oranges eh? Oh, hang on a minute!

This is the UK's tariff for oranges as per 1 Feb 1973. Although after accession, it is, I think, before we started aligning with the EEC's CET. So, I think representative of pre-EEC tariffs.

legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1972/1909…
Unfortunately, the National Archives do not hold online digitised versions of two bits of legislation that would help me confirm whether there was any tariff change due to accession.

The Import Duties (General) (No. 7) Order 1971
The Import Duties (General) (No. 3) Order 1969
The UK went decimal in on 15 February 1971 and I think the 1971 order would have the conversions. The 1969 order would contain post-Kennedy Round of GATT tariff reductions.

According to numbeo.com/food-prices/ oranges in Florida are more expensive than in London (along with most foods). Is this fair? The site is driven by user imput so I'd imagine could be out of date or inaccurate.
Using this site (heb.com/search/results…), I make that 84¢ for 300 grammes of oranges, numbeo.com says $1.16 in Jacksonville. and 82¢ for London.

These tables produced from Eurostat data by @iwitteronandon show how much our exports rely on the EU and EU trade deals with 3rd countries, and how little is on WTO only. Quite something.

In his blog, Mr Cummings says AIQ "once built some software" for Cambridge Analytica's parent company SCL, in 2014, but suggestions the company shared data with Cambridge Analytica were "ludicrous". bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Leave . EU's co-founder Arron Banks said: "Leave . EU did not receive any data or work from Cambridge Analytica. "UKIP did give Cambridge Analytica some of its data and Cambridge Analytica did some analysis of this.
"But it was not used in the Brexit campaign. Cambridge Analytica tried to make me pay for that work but I refused. It had nothing to do with us."
