That is not the point. Once more:

IF the UK wants to have sovereignty, it has to introduce border controls, without this there is no sovereignty.
And if it thus erects border controls towards the EU, this border has to be between the ROI and Northern Ireland.

Now it seems it is rather the EU that wants controls of goods, if not a hard border. While the UK should want a border because of the urge to control possible immigrants or whatever (= sovereignty), but cannot afford it due to the good friday agreement.

So if the UK does not want any controlling border between the UK and the EU (read: the ROI which is not a member of the UK) and thus no controlling immigration (or for whatever they wanted brexit), how can this be UK "sovereignty" then? It makes no sense even if they break the treaty.
