LONDON — The United Kingdom has 215 nuclear weapons and a permanent seat on the U.N. Security Council, and has been Washington's best friend for decades.
Less than 100 years ago it ruled over Canada, Nigeria, India, Australia and more, covering almost a quarter of the world's territory and population.
Yet in recent months there has been growing alarm that the U.K. is in danger of breaking apart. Nothing like this has happened before — not to a modern democracy with such geopolitical and historical standing.
The U.K. is unusual because it comprises four nations: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Were one of these to leave the U.K., many would see it as a dismal end to centuries of British history, further diminishing its role as a cornerstone of the Western postwar alliance.
"We should be genuinely worried. There's no doubt about that," former Prime Minister Tony Blair told NBC News in an interview.

"It's incredible to me," he said. "The factors at work here have come into play, not through some act of God, but because people created them."
In fact all five of the U.K.'s living former leaders warn that this is no longer some vague hypothetical; the possible roadmap to disintegration is now clear. Scotland or Northern Ireland — or both — could conceivably hold referendums to leave the U.K. within the next five to 10 years.
Its breakup would be cheered by separatists who see the Parliament in London as a colonial throwback deaf to their interests. They point to the recent rise in English nationalism and the prime ministership of Boris Johnson, who has upended constitutional norms during his short time in office.
But at the heart of the turmoil lies Brexit.

The Conservative party, including BoJo, voted overwhelmingly for the Iraq war too.

Why let a fact get in the way of lies and smears, Lez. That's Rambo's only contributions to this forum.

Which was on the basis of Republican VP Cheney's lies. The only sin of Blair is in not being his own man. He relished the role of lapdog.

Didn't convince Charles Kennedy or other politicians with a brain tbf.
And are you honestly saying Ian Duncan Smith or any Tory leader wouldn't have fallen into step with GWB at the time?
Tories and New Labour were the same where military intervention is concerned.

Britain actually let New Zealand and Canada go in the late 19th century (over 120 years ago..), and Australia in 1901 (118 years ago..).
The 'British Empire' was already in decline "100 years ago"..

Blair didn't invent those lies, though...
That "intelligence" was manufactured by Republican stooges in the CIA and Dept of Defence, to enable GWB, Cheney and Rumsfeld to invade Iraq; where they essentially based their fairytales on one British uni' student's hypothetical thesis..
Centre-right political leaders PMs Tony Blair (UK Labour) and John Howard (Australia, LNP..) were the first allies to fall in behind the Americans, followed by another 17 countries over the next few months.
