@Ruth_Mottram Is (Great) Britain even a country?

England is a country, and so are Wales and Scotland. Together with Northern Ireland these three countries are in a voluntary (right?) union - The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or UK for short - a political entity with a shared currency and a common foreign policy. And just like the EU, not a country. A country cannot consist of other countries.

I don't know who they're trying to kid!

Given their prophetic messages, well – let's just read them in reverse. And let's hope it's not the 2nd from the bottom.

The fact that they haven't deleted this one below from 13/12/2019 makes me doubt the account is real; it's far closer to a parody. It has to be parody.

Tracked down further: this article https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1884494/Huge-Brexit-Britain-victory-as-UK-is-world-s-second-most-powerful-country claims that:

"Brand Finance's 2024 Global Soft Power Index, the UK has retained second place behind the US and has increased its score since 2023"

So 2nd in a "soft power index" cooked by "Brand Finance", a UK-based company of dubious authority.
