In the same way a true hard Brexiter cannot bear for us to be contaminated by anything vaguely EU.

Unfortunately the rest of us are either meat eaters (pro EU), meat reducers (remain in all but name & stay in single market with free movement), pescatarians (stay in customs union), Veggies (soft brexit, long transition)

Unfortunately Vegans don't realise they are harming the planet & wildlife just as much with their demands for quinoa and almond milk. Plus they are iron deficient and need a bit of feeding up with some tasty soft brexit.
Clearly, you don't understand what sovereignty means.

For your edification, it means we shall be able to make our own decisions about all manner of things, including our laws, who we may trade with, and how many people we let in to our country.

Sorry to upset you, as I know you tried to overturn Brexit. Still, never mind.

Clearly you haven't grasped that we live in a global economy and the EU is our biggest trading partner.

Sovereignty means next to nothing in the modern world.
