3. "Ever Closer Union" is the EU's mantra = Deutschland über Alles;

4. The perfidious Irish are using the GFA to protect their exports;

5. The Euro is not sufficiently underpinned - see what'll happen when Italy fails;

6. Remember the EU and Greece.

In the meantime Parliament fiddles while Brexit burns.
I always enjoy reading the contradiction that the EU is either weak and crumbling at the same time as being all mighty and powerful, ready to take over the world if we’d don’t stop it now.

Other than that most of your post is highly objectionable. The wartime rhetoric we would be better off without.
