We can't wage war like we did but even if we had the largest best army in the world, we couldn't invade China, US etc.
Our manufacturing base has shrunk, but that's not because of a lack of smarts. It's because we could not compete with cheap labour.
Our services, finance, engineering, marketing, science and pharmaceutical are leading the world. We made the correct decision and decided to concentrate on services, though I wish our manufacturing was more balanced.
We do have an issue with inequality, there needs to be more of balance whilst rewarding those that achieve.
