I am on the remain face of the sphere, but i kind of agree that we need to be breaking laws. Not UK law though. We should have broken the EU's rule that we can't negotiate trades while still in the EU.
Clearly that rule was written to ensure no member states got preferential treatment. It was not written under the perspective of a country planning to exit. As such we should have been able to prospectively negotiate looking forward to a post brexit Britain as long as the effects of those negotiations only came into being after Britain left the EU. It was forbidding the UK from prospectively seeking trade deals in advance of Brexit which gave the threat of 'No Deal' the power to paralyse the entire Brexit negotiations.
The rule against Britain being able to plan for Brexit was essentially the EU putting the No Deal gun in Britains hands and forcing Britain to point said gun at herself. This mobe actually made me wake up and understand the Eurosceptic point of view more sympathetically.
