I don't know how to break this to David, but...Britain buckled a long time ago.

This certainly isn't the Britain that viewed "savages" down the barrels of smoking machine guns on every continent.

This certainly isn't the Britain that ruled the world--on whose empire the sun never set.

What was that bit about "Britons never, never, never shall be slaves!" ?????

Somewhere along the way, the Brits had the bright idea of shackling and blindfolding Britannia so that she would no longer rule the waves and that the enslavement of the British people might not be such a bad idea after all. Stroke of genius, eh?
