No longer shackled by the political correctness of it's EU partners, the now sovereign British Lion can once again let it's roar be heard across the seven seas.
Or maybe not.
From the Economist:
" On June 22nd ... the UN weighed in on a dispute between Britain and Mauritius over the Chagos islands ... Only four members of the EU voted with Britain; ... usually reliable allies France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain [abstained] ... In an inauspicious sign for “Empire 2.0”, the nickname British officials use for their plan to forge closer links with the Commonwealth, the vast majority of Britain’s former colonies backed Mauritius or abstained."
