Brexit is destroying Britain

Not at all, Brexit has stopped us being dragged into a Federal state of Europe, job done

We are now not part of this

Supremacy of EU Law and increasing EU QMV means the EU can actually pass laws for EU States even if EU States are against those laws. EU States are therefore not truly independent sovereign countries.

The EU is a political project of Pan-European Nationalism, with a founding principle of ever-closer union.

The EU already has its own Parliament, Presidents, Foreign Minister, Ambassadors with full diplomatic immunity, its own Courts, Tax Laws, Central Bank, Single Currency, Single Market, Free Movement, Flag, Anthem, Common Citizenship, etc. The EU already controls agriculture, fisheries, immigration, tax law, currency, trade policy, etc. The EU can even veto national budgets.

The creation of a United States of Europe isn't some theoretical future possibility. It's being built now.

The EUs Executive Power has total power of legislative initiative and yet faces absolutely no democratic public elections whatsoever. European voters can't vote for it. European voters can't vote to remove it. The European Parliament itself can't remove it with anything less than a two thirds majority. So you can actually have a basic majority of the electedpoliticians wanting to remove the unelected politicians, and they can't. The EU is not a democracy.

This sell out of your country might not bother you, but then Ireland is historically not used to having it’s own sovereignty for very long periods.

Yes, poor Europeans losing out on exports.
Free trade without convergence would have helped here, but they didn't want that....rightly scared of uk competition
The UK voted to implement Trade Barriers. The UK was warned that becoming a Third Country would have consequences. The UK imports far more from the EU than it exports to the EU, the screw will tighten at the end of this month and several more turns at the end of October. The EU will supply the internal market before exports. Where do you think the Fruit and Veg will come from?

Intolerance of who?
The barbed comments at those who hold views at variance with your own.

*edit* - it is however pleasing to see, than unlike yourself, democratically elected leaders across all of Europe have considered that the mayor of Brussels drastically over-stepped the mark yesterday and his behaviour entirely unacceptable.

Nice to see that our political masters, for all their faults, possess a much greater degree of tolerance than some who would shut down everything at variance with their own opinions.

Is this Federal State in the room with you now?

Have you asked Braverman or Patel about that?
