In the meantime Parliament fiddles while Brexit burns.

If you want facts, I'd like to point out to you that as a percentage of our income, the UK was the lowest contributor to the EU. See, I can use the same table from the BBC website you appear to have used.
As for the rest, I'd argue most of it is opinion , apart from the problems with the Euro (which I have never been a fan of).
As for the Irish, you appear to be blaming them for using the law to protect their own exports. Isn't that what any government should do? Also, should they accept an outside government they didn't vote for coming in to tell them what to do? Bear in mind that to the Irish, that is exactly what the UK government is. An outside organisation that they didn't vote for.
