the empire was always propped by colonialization - there wasn’t much to go once the colonies were no longer a cash cow for the UK

This narrative is bullocks and I’m sick of hearing this framing. “The UK deserves it because colonialism”.

Contrary to your statement, the UK is a center of education, innovation, and still a major player in finance. The current malaise infects the West and is much more than “brexit” or “colonial hangovers”.
