The UK has just given up on being in any way internationally relevant. If the City of London financial district disappeared, within 10 years we'd all forget that it's still a country.

As an aside, the UK is a great tourist destination, especially if you leave London right after landing.

Beautiful landscape, the best breakfast around, really nice people, tons of sights to see.

Yes the end result of rich western nations that get strangled by government is to be a museum

I agree it’s tragic but out of all the ways a culture can strangle itself, museumification is the least horrible

>>FredPr+mQ
There's always the option of, you know, not strangling itself.

That would be splendid although it seems to have been a controversial choice until recently
