Time Britain got over its post imperial identity crisis and recognised its place in the world

When will this country recognise that it is no longer a "great power"? The present government act like Britain has the same imperial power as in the 19th century.

It is a country stilll caught up in a post imperial identity crisis. Why else would Britain continue to seek to militarily intervene in other people's countries?
