Brexit is already damaging European science

Same as UK citizens have the right to settle and work in 30 odd other countries.

That's what agreements and accords are for.

Or are you suggesting that UK unilaterally grants rights, which they don't receive in return?

Ironically, the UK was one of the most open and welcoming countries, when ex eastern European countries were granted the freedom of movement.

They took a lot of opt outs, from the Euro to parts of judical agreements and then some from the EU.

They could also have opted out to some extent. But probably the lure of cheap employees sounded just too good to be true.

The entire idea of the Brexit is that mobility to the UK is not of equal value to mobility of the rest of the EU.

Here's what wikipedia says:

'Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies.'

Sounds to me like a pretty conclusive definition.
