I'd rather have tariffs if it means controlling your laws and borders.

>anime is now cheaper and more easily accessible

This is the first time since the start of the ordeal where I've wholeheartedly supported brexit

Is there anything preventing the UK from doing the same thing with Japan?

They can make deals with anyone after Brexit.

Yeah, but who would now that we will be out of the largest FTA. What does the UK have that the EU can't already provide, and Japan desperately needs?

Africa is the only one that has shown interest in trade post-Brexit and most of the continent is still developing or have got their resources already under exploitation by themselves or by 3rd parties like Chinese/Russian/European companies (SA, Nigeria, Cameroon, Angola, Zimbabwe, etc), while the UK deals in services, a sector that likely very few will need when it's not connected to a larger economic zone.

Nice I might order some ramen/snack boxes down the line then. I did last year but the tariffs were really high so I wasn't too keen on doing it again, but if there's no tariffs now then that basically cuts the prize in half for me.

Immigration will kill the EU. The Roman empire also fell that way.

Looking forward to brexit.

Doesn't matter what your ideologies are, or how bad being international is; it's the future for mankind. The more "unity" there is, the less of an "identity" people have, the more we've progressed as a species.
