I have to say, it's a real novelty to feel so proud of Britain. I mean, aside from the NHS and some engineering/scientific breakthroughs, there really hasn't been much to crow about in the last hundred years.

Well, apart from winning two world wars, obviously.

No-one's going to touch USA and China, I think that's a given.
So we're effectively the leaders or all teh rest of the world.
