But France wields unfair power within the EU and if you couple this with ever closer union, I knew what my vote had to be.
Then to see certain Remoaners on here bleating wildly about how Brexit is a disaster for the UK inspires me to fight back.

Seph, you are just trolling to wind people up. Get a grip man!
The serious point is the successful project to change macro economic & societal direction of the country using lies & misinformation, delivered by an undemocratic 37% of the electorate. No country's destiny should be changed so significantly on such a woeful majority. A supermajority was essential here.
Here's some bedtime reading since you are unware of any harmful effects of Brexit:
Economic effects of Brexit

Long-term impact on the UK economy
There was overwhelming or near-unanimous agreement among economists that leaving the European Union would adversely affect the British economy in the medium- and long-term. Surveys of economists in 2016 showed overwhelming agreement that Brexit would likely reduce the UK's real per-capita income level. 2017 and 2019 surveys of existing academic research found that the credible estimates ranged between GDP losses of 1.2–4.5% for the UK, and a cost of between 1 and 10% of the UK's income per capita. These estimates varied depending on whether the UK left via a 'hard' or 'soft' Brexit. In January 2018, the UK government's own Brexit analysis was leaked; it showed that UK economic growth would be stunted by 2–8% for at least 15 years following Brexit, depending on the leave scenario
