Oh yeah, how has Brexit worked out on that front?
The rivers and sea are literally full of runoff and shit.
Comment on Just 9% of British voters think Brexit has gone well, poll finds

Remainers were the most deluded, thinking they were already in the sunlit uplands, when in reality they were just giving up sovereignty for pet passports and mobile roaming

You’re confusing a political decision on European affairs with piss poor governance by the Tories

But that’s our realistic alternative.
Either we work with the EU, who have sane, useful laws, with oversight of our own government, or we work with the corrupt tories only, who will keep taking and leave us with nothing.
Perhaps we should have made sure our country wasn’t being run into the ground before getting rid of any oversight.
But now it’s too late, and the results are clear no matter what your fantasy brexit was. The Tories were in charge when you voted to give them more power. And now they have more power. Shocked Pikachu.

That’s treating the symptoms and also assumes that EU oversight is a good thing.
What happens if the right continues its rise and ends up in powerful positions within the EU? Do you really want that sort of oversight?
It’s not too late. And if you voted remain, you voted with the Tory government…

the EU offers a lot more than your over simplification.

Sure, we should have stayed on the single market, there was no need for any disruption
But, Tories.

we could have influence the EU from within. Instead we are flushing raw sewage around the coast and asking people to stop consuming sea food.

Yeah, the CAP has required reforming for 40 years. I’d given up hope when they spent all of our net contribution on poorly implemented and failed biodiversity policies, according to the EU’s own auditors.

The CFP is also a cluster fuck that’s based on fish quotas to satisfy boats, not fish. The bycatch and discards are a disgrace. The herring population is about to collapse as a result and over 10k dolphins are killed each and every year.
