Britain is a tiny island that no one really cares about, except when Cameron comes over to India to beg us to take their "peanut" aid and then begs us to buy their rust-bucket what-is-name flying contraptions.

i wish you wouldn't have brought this up! i agree with the obvious fact that is indeed a tiny island with little resources and 64m people. but, i wonder it still has bigger economy than both russia or india (excuse me). not to mention it's world class universities cambridge, oxford and others, world's 2nd largest defence contractor BAE Systems, veto power or permanent UNSC status which you dont have and also utterly desperate to have (excuse me for pointing out facts), significantly higher wealth per capita, living standard, and hdi than these developing countries, global media, ranked 2nd in the world in terms of soft power, ranked 2nd in the world in terms of total number of noble laureates, world's biggest financial centre that trades more euro than the rest of eurozone countries combined together, ranked 2nd in the world again in terms of giving aid and financial assistance to third world countries, only country in europe building 2x 72000 tons supercarriers, 2nd biggest navy, air force and defense budget in nato after the us, and there are plenty of facts to point out. just really wish you wouldn't have brought this up. not intended to brag about anything, but simply a response to your misleading statement.
I think he should focus on basic grammar, punctuation, and capitalization first.
I have respect from Britain of 40 years ago. Today, it is a hovel.
That does not bode well for Russia. It just goes to show that the disparity in wealth in Russia is too big. Too few people in Russia are holding the biggest chunk of the country's wealth.
Very impressive!
Yes, please use that "aid" to look after your own. Charity begins at home. Also, use it for charity, not for peddling half bakes hodge-podge of a flying deathtrap.
the problem is mass immigration. no idea why this little insignificant broken island attracts so much immigrants from india, china, russia and the rest of the world. last year too many poor immigrants from africa, asia and eastern european countries arrived here and they ended up living on the streets as most of them do not have decent qualifications and therefore they struggled to find jobs and better lives. the government can't tackle too many issues at the same time. majority of newly created jobs are always taken by the immigrants and as a result you now see the homos sleeping like that.Yes, please use that "aid" to look after your own.

Since when did the "world" count as only EU and US?
Disparity of wealth in Russia is not "too big," but about the same as the US. Nothing to be proud of, but thank you for pointing out a major flaw with the US. Malaysia is worse off, BTW.
Mass immigration of poor people is happening from the newly acquired EU members from eastern Europe. The Russians that come to UK are filthy rich.
the uk economy with it's 64m people alone is bigger than the economy of the entire african continent.
you do not seem to realise that we are all living in an era dominated by the west especially by the us. hint: all of us are now speaking, writing and reading in english language to communicate with the rest of the world. the combined economy of the eu, us and it's allies (just australia, japan and south korea) have $45 trillion and that's a huge market. on the other hand, nato alone spends 70% of the world's total defence budget.

The external debt of UK is 10,090,000,000,000, which is moe than 1000 times that of Iran, at 9,452,000,000.
Care to explain why NO?
talk about debt when you really and genuinely understand what it is, how it works and why is that.
No.
You don't understand statistics.
