I amuses me how we think the world should listen to us, the UK I mean.

We're not a world power any more, haven't been for decades, and whilst up until recently we did probably have more influence than we should've our increasingly insular world view has put an end to that.

I'm sure it must be nice for Ms Rudd to get to meet the powerful people in the world, but I suspect /they/ don't really care.

We really should learn and leave all this running the world to the youth and get on tending our rose garden in our old age.
