2. "sovereignty" basically means "cutting down EU immigration"

That's been the one thing that Brexiteers really hated - free movement of people. That's the bit of "sovereignty" most of them wanted - to be able to tell Europeans they can't come and live here unless they have a specialist skill the country's short of. But the politicians know that people don't want to be labelled "anti-immigrant", or, even worse, "racist", so it's been talked about, since the referendum, as "sovereignty". Remember Farage's poster of refugees? That's the fundamental point of Brexit. Repel The Others.

(I think the joy over British passports becoming blue again was about them being able to hold a tangible object that said "we're not Europeans" )
