Can Great Britain become superpower again?How do you thin we can achieve this

Can Great Britain become superpower again?How do you thin we can achieve this?
Im sick of kissing America's a.s.s how do you think Britain can become a superpower and rich again. I think the size of Russia,Usa,China etc and there population help, at 1 time in history Britain was cantrolling 40% of the worlds population, i am shocked we do not have superpower status still it is a disgreace.I think what will, help us is if we start producing are own goods again before Britain was the biggest exporter in the world and also had the most factories in the world,i think we also need a rapid increase in miltary personnel i think we need to be like Russia and Usa and be forceful in recruiting soilders more miltary schools academies etc. like the way we used to patrol the oceans of the world and enforce power i could go on forever but i will try and stop i do not think china will make it as a superpwer 1. They are communist.2.In the background America the CIA is destroying there rageme and the CIA have been responsible for many of the coups and overthrowings of heads of states, and could i just state that Russia is not a superpwer search superpower in google and it saids the only country that can actually call themselves a superpower is America and judging a superpower is not judged on nuclear weapons and miltary sizes alone for those of you who do not know Russia has a larger nuclear arsenal than America but America has a larger miltary and it is not likly if any of these the biggest nuclear stockpilers in the world go to war as enemies not likley the will use nuclear arsenals because they all know that both have powerful nuclear wepons and 1 nuclear weapon can do enough damage so quantity does not matte quality does and if they go to war they both know 1 gets nuked both gets nuked than America has war with the worl as Russia is close to Asia and Europe so it would not be smart to nuke them and if they go to war Nato will say F.*U.* C.*k that we are not fighting Russia tha America against the warsaw pact.I also think if the commonwealth started to work more together, we could acheive superpower status easily we have the population in various countries Canada is the second largest country in the world, and Australlia is having more and more immigrants flocking in to work extremeley hard it has the highest number in the world for the population increase,and europe in a whole has higher GDP than america people were saying Europe should enter the G8 G20 etc as one unit do you agree and are EU economy accounts for 31% of the world GDP and rermeber Russia is not part of the EU how do you think we can get Great Britain to be great again.Britain also has a higher GDP than Russia. The Russians are in tons of debt that dates back to the soviet union and jus about 10 year ago halve of Russia's population were living below the poverty line and a large proportion still is, and China is the definition of poverty because there population size is there downfall same as India really but i think India have a chance but will end up going to war with someone in asia i just have a feeling.

Britain was able to exploit a very unusual set of circumstances in the world to gain ascendancy. Those circumstances are now gone. The British Empire will never rise again.

first there is nothing wrong with being a communist they get thing done a lot faster than usa and second a superpower is consider to have influence over other country so if you have a f u c k i n g nuclear bomb you are going to have some f u c k i n g over the f u c k i n g world. And america does not f u c k i n g forcefully recruit anyone. Lastely Great Britian is NEVER going to be like what it use to be the cicrumstance has changed. Great Britain is a very small country with limited resources and since it can't force their colonies to give them stuff they are f u c k i n g done.

the best is an artist called L.S. Lowry. He did lots of pictures of the industrial revolution . His paintings commonly consist of "matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs" and industrial machinery and factories. Do a google using the words in inverted commas and see what you come up with. I hope that you are wealthy though as his work is expensive.

They think it will cost too much, which is funny because Britain has been funding it for over 50 years with no problems.
2 :
we have more teens pregnancy, more drug addicts, more people with hypochondria, ect. what's right for them may not be right for us.
3 :
Why do we need to follow other country's examples when the majority of our country is satisfied with health care as it is? The majority of Americans believe that health care has become too expensive, and are open to cost reduction measures. Not entitlements like socialized health care...we are not Europe and don't want to be.
4 :
There are all kinds of problems that the Left refuses to acknowledge. In Germany, for example, doctors are paid less than 100K and are on the verge of a strike. Very few will enter Med school to make that amount of money. In Switzerland, Drug companies make their fortunes in the US, and then charge nothing there. Eliminate that and what happens? Cost are what they are.
5 :
1. Huge cost over-runs adding to the national debt. 2. Thwarting the profit incentive to discover new "cures" 3. Government knowledge and involvement with personal (and very private) medical histories.
6 :
its all about selfishness , it the old "i got mine, you get yours!" Reactionaries do not care to what happens to anyone outside their family circle, that is, until someone in their family gets some chronic disease, then they are crying for help.
7 :
First of all, we have something Britain, Australia and the Netherlands don't have. Our Constitution. It clearly limits the power of the Federal Government and Socialized Health Care is definitely one of those things the Fed Gov is not allowed to do. On top of that, our Fed Gov's history of running large scale programs is abysmal. Post Office, Social Security, Medicaid/Medicare...all totally broke (i.e. out of money). The FACT that they have to start collecting taxes for 4 years to make it work for the next 6 tells you that their financing plans are not sustainable. And anyone who actually believes that this monstrosity will only cost $980 billion is a total fool. This thing will run 3-5 times that much (if not more).

Schools that offer J.D. degrees in Great Britain

Schools that offer J.D. degrees in Great Britain?
I'm a U.S. citizen finishing up my undergraduate work and I would really like to get a law degree (preferably, but not necessarily, in international law) from somewhere in Great Britain. I was wondering if there were any schools that offered J.D. degrees in that part of the world or joint degrees as I would probably like to come back and practice law in the United States.

I am a retired attorney in the USA. I do not think that the J.D. title is used in Britain. I think they use an equivalent, but I am not sure what it is called. You will need to find out the name of the British law degree before you can do further research on courses to pursue. If you take your degree in Britain, you will probably be at a disadvantage in passing the bar exam in many American states. Although our law is based on English Common Law and the best US law schools do not teach "toward" the bar exam, it is my impression that British legal education is different enough that you will not learn some American subjects or the American approach to them. It is also my recollection that part of the British law study program is given in undergraduate school and that part is a practical clerkship in a law office. Most importantly, most, if not all, US states require people sitting for their bar exam to have graduated from a law school approved by the American Bar Association or by the State Bar of the particular state. I do not know if any British law schools have this approval. You might look at the ABA website or phone them. What I would recommend is that you look for a US law school which has a formal program which allows you to study law for a semester or two in Britain and counts this study towards your US degree. Most of these schools will probably be among the more difficult for admission. You can probably get some leads on Google or from the ABA. Please feel free to email me if you need further information. Although I do not know anything more about studying in Britain than I have told you, I can tell you a lot about studying law in the US.
