You gave up your empire in the 70s and 80s. Instead of doubling down on Vietnam you had us walk in and take the blame. Instead of doubling down on your african colonies you simply let them fly apart. Ironically, the result is that British companies were able to walk in and take over as they are more accustomed to the modern neoliberal system instead of the older colonial ones. Hence why London is more or less the center of global finance, and not Berlin or Frankfurt. The UK's continued use of the Pound is central to this.
