There were two things wrong with that though. Each one of those thousands of EU laws were nodded through parliament in seconds on Monday mornings with an "Aye" from a few members present. To replace any one of them with our law takes months of stages in the Commons, Committees, Lords etc, with Civil Service attention between each and every stage. Within the lifetimes of even our youngest there won't be a significant dent in all that EU law, we'll just end up learning to live with it all, making much of Brexit pointless.
And the second thing wrong is that throughout those laws it's often specified that the European Court is the final arbiter, meaning we will always under it's rulings, quite the opposite of the intention of Brexit. In fact the departure agreement that May and Johnson agreed also includes thg European Court having considerabel control to ensure we stick to what we agreed control.
All a far cry from sovereignty.
