Couldn't agree more with this having spent well over half my life working overseas, one of the biggest wave of change in feelings towards the UK came when the war criminal Blair licked Bush's árse and took us into an illegal war.
Good spot mate - I expected people to latch onto my comment and start a pro/anti Brexit cause and reason (although it hasn’t helped), but that certainly was not the start of the decline in respect for the UK. I still to this day cannot understand Blair’s motives. Just to put a little balance into the discussion though, Cameron’s intervention in Libya, whilst less publicised had massive negative consequences.
Nonetheless taking all the above into account I still feel there is considerable respect and liking for the British people worldwide.
