You, and Remainers on the other hand, do not accept that a sovereign UK should be fully in control of its laws, waters and behaviours. And you Remainers seem to dodge addressing this aspect, possibly for fear of being accused of being happy to let the EU govern us in part.
I'm sure a phased withdrawal would be acceptable - but where has that been published? Au contraire, see https://www.theguardian.com/politics...s-to-uk-waters - they want our cake.
Why are you are you siding with the EU? You pray in aid to your argument the CETA treaty. I might stand corrected, but from my research (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compre...perty%20rights.) CETA's level playing field only extends to intellectual property rights. If you are wrong, where does that leave your argument?
What? What does that mean, especially in the cake-and-it-it context?
I'm really disappointed as you normally have something sensible to put forward.

I will try and clarify the other aspects later when I have more time. In the meantime, here's how CETA helps level the playing field.
