      It is of course somewhat disingenuous to equate the empire to the modern British government. In much the same way that it makes no sense to say that Japan in its current form has any relation to feudal Japan.

        Only difference is that they now only have a fraction of their power.
        OTOH they 100% have the same horrible attitude.
        Like the declining US now doesn’t realise they aren’t top dog anymore, the Brits who have been surpassed by them for a century still delude themselves and think they can and should dictate what the world should do.
        Glad we had Brexit.
        Always causing trouble and wanting it their way.
        Embarrassing.
