As a Chinese diplomat matter-of-factly told a prominent British interviewer: Britain is not as relevant as it used to be. Get used to it. Edit: grammar

[@johntooth1886]

When Blair came to power The UK lost credibility throughout the world.

[@bluesque9687]

@@johntooth1886 Yes, when UK started pandering to every militaristic whim of United States as an unquestioning ally(slave), when American-Chinese trade relations mattered the most, when Russian oligarchy owned much in UK, when the American IT companies took over the world, when indian space program got better than UK, when innovation dwindled down in UK.... when the arrogance of Brexit was snubbed by Europe.... UK lost a lot of relevance! It is hard to understand why the UK pound is valued so highly!

Brexit definitely damaged the UK in many different aspects. And it can't be undone.
