Is the UK becoming isolated?

[Timelord]

Maybe its just that they fear us and our historical & political clout! We are known around the globe as a physically small but warlike nation of great resolve. Our peoples may not strike at the drop of a farmers hat or over annual economic disagreements. we may not throw our hands in the air and beat our chests with bravado - but it is known and historically proved, that when push comes to shove, it might take a while to get us rolling, but then we just keep on going with no let up or wavering in conviction. Our ancestors proved to be ruthless & effective in the face of staunch opposition. This is a heritage which in modern times is kept supressed in civilian comprehension, but our jealous rivals around the world remember only too well!! They may wish to try & starve or poison the lion, but they deep down fear to invoke it's wrath!

To clarify - we punch far above our weight - not to be underestimated..
