Bullshit. The UK economy by GDP is currently less than 1/4 of China's.
The only thing that surprises me is how long the decline has taken from peak to trough. The UK was the super power and number 1 economy in the world as late as early 1910 when you used to get 5 USD for 1 UK pound and the US was a fast growing economy that was catching up fast.
So it took well over a century to get to today, where the UK economy is still 6th or 7th largest economy in the world.
