I'm not worried. The past is the past. We can be proud of our history though.
Leaving the EU will allow to be more dynamic and modern.
We are still a major power in the world. In fact a recent study found us the world leader in soft power.

I don't think you can realistically compare us to Spain and Portugal. Maybe in your head but it's not correct.
I know it doesn't fit the narrative of a lot of people on here but Britain is actually great and despite the idiots in charge we are doing very well.
A very bright future awaits once we relieve ourselves from the shackles of the EU.
Since you have no idea of how the EU works, and manage to prove that on a daily basis, please describe what the "Shackles" are
And perhaps you ought to read the reason that the UK scored
This is a caveat from within that lengthy PDF
"
As of July 2018, the
UK remains a member of the European
Union, and thus nothing has changed in
the objective data with respect to the
UK’s position in Europe.
For the UK, this year’s results are an
encouraging sign that the nation still
commands significant soft power clout.
The UK’s soft power strengths continue
to sit across the Engagement, Culture,
Education, and Digital sub-indices.
British soft power benefits from a
wealth of publicly funded resources.
And already a lot of damage is being done across the categories where we currently rate highly, due to cost cutting, loss of staff etc, etc.
And no matter how much of this clout you have you need brains to apply it , which are sorely lacking.
So much for your latest BS and as for "Wealth of publicly funded resources" how many rely on EU grants?
Here is an extract that shows what a total sham this "Soft Power " is
"
the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry to
Meghan Markle. Nearly two billion people
around the world tuned in to watch the
wedding, a testament to the royal family’s
enduring appeal and international reach.
The wedding holds great significancefor Britain’s global brand, projecting
not just the usual image of tradition and royal pomp, but a powerful story of
diversity and integration. It may sound twee, but the wedding has likely had a significant positive impact on the UK’s soft power and its overarching narrative as an evolving modern country. We do not know the extent of the wedding’s impact, but as shown in the polling data, global
perceptions of the UK improved this year.
What a load of poppycock! if "Soft power" is affected by such trivia as that then it isn't worth a Tinkers Cuss in the real world, and that last Porky is outrageous
"Global perceptions of the UK improved this year"
The World is laughing at us
Come off it fingers you need to provide better material ! ring them up at Leave HQ and tell them this one was a dud.
And this report was of course compiled while we are still members of the EU and before the Conservative Government imploded too.
We are not in any way an important "Power in the World" just America's scrapyard dog.
