If you can't see fundamental economic differences between the UK and US, I would caution you that, while it may not be visible from your vantage point in Andromeda, Jupiter is indeed larger than a duck, even if they seem more or less much-of-a-muchness when one has proper perspective. When roughly 50% of the imports and exports of such a piddling island, services included, are directed towards the EU - obviously, from a very great distance, it makes no difference at all if those goods are subject to tariffs, and if the industries producing them get no input into the regulations they will have to adhere to. If you were observing, say, from Pluto, you would probably note that the little smudge of the EU is a mite bigger than the little smudge of the UK, and 50% of the UK's import/export economy, while no big deal on the cosmic scale, probably matters a bit to the people who live there.
