Post imperial nationalist govermnents had to find a scapegoat for their own inadequacies, so who better to blame than the departed imperial power?
In my experience, if you travel to any part of the old British Empire and when people find out you are British, they are either completely indifferent to the fact or they reminisce on how things were so much better under the British than they are now. Until we got dragged in to America's screw ups in the Middle East, British people could travel the world without fear of molestation just for being British. Now not so much; thanks yanks.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. It seems your grasp of the stock market is about the same as your grasp of the sitiation in occupied Palestine. From your own source, this time last year the share price was $66.42 (before BDS) whereas now it's $32.83 (since BDS). Yeah Soda stream are doing sooo well, sure they are....

That damned White Man's Burden again.
Well, the trains ran on time, anyway, eh?
Well, what the hell, other than a minor sortie into the South Atlantic against a 3rd-rate power in the 1980s, you guys really hadn't done much on the world stage since WWII and Korea, anyway. It was about time you got off your asses and at least started helping, if you weren't going to lead anymore.
Anytime. Consider it a refresher course in the price of getting off your ass and getting out there and doing something, rather than just throwing rotten tomatoes from the cheap seats in the balcony.

You can't hurry the stock market, Rockefeller. I've got stocks that I bought at 35, watched them rise to 75, then fall to 7. I sold them when they reached 130. This was in a 5 year period. They are at 45 right now and when they reach 35, I'll probably buy them again. **** BDS.

Wow, you've discovered that share prices rise and fall and rise again. You're well on the way to becoming Chairperson of the Federal reserve! Enjoy your Sodastream before it goes under and gets bought out by Pepsi or Starbucks.

Well thanks for the offer, but we carried the burden long enough and we're quite comfortable in the cheap seats now. We got used to it when you lot screwed us over at Breton Woods in 1944. You want to be top dog, fine, we stood aside like gentlemen and off you rushed, paving the road to Hell with your good intentions; America knew best. Now you want our help? Hmm, let me think about that......

Pass me another rotten tomato someone.

Wise Lao tzu is right, but you fail to see that you achieve nothing
So it would be best for you to carry on you boycott after all you do nothing.

Spoken like the sons and grandsons of the weak fellows who lost an empire.

I could argue the 'your downfall was your own fault' line of thought all day long, but that would take us too far off topic.
Suffice it to say that you have a seat on the UN Security Council out of gratitude for your past services to Mankind, but The Seat carries two kinds of responsibility with it: (1) keeping the peace and (2) taking a leadership role in enforcing the peace.
If you don't want The Seat, perhaps it's time for you to step aside and make room for someone who does.
Leaving you entirely free to throw those tomatoes without giving a fig for global security responsibilities.

Read some history, we didn't lose it, we gave it away. We had the intelligence to realise after the betrayal at Breton Woods, we could no longer afford an empire and after fighting two world wars in 20years, we'd shed enough blood keeping the world free from tyranny.
Yes you could, see my preceeding post above, and yes it would.
"Leadership role?" You mean doing whatever America tells us to do, no thanks. We're getting pretty tired of that too.
Nah, we earned that seat, more than most who sit on the Security Council, it's very comfortable and really close so we don't have to waste our energy throwing those rotten tomatoes very far.
Re: giving it away - oh, nolo contendere - you did, indeed, divest yourselves of it - akin to a 'fire sale' - truth being, you no longer had much choice in the matter.
The world had changed by then, you had promised your colonial allies autonomy in return for helping during WWII, and your Imperial system had run its course.
You gave the impression that you were giving it away but had you failed to do so it would have been taken from you anyway, as happened to the French in Indochina and Africa.
You weren't fooling anyone about those 'give-aways' then, and you're not fooling anybody about that now, either.
Ditto.
No, that's 'following', not leading.
Leading, in this context, is more about maintaining sufficient strength and resolve and diplomatic presence and credibility to put out fires and to influence and steer events as practicable.
Taking a couple of decades 'on holiday' after the devastation and losses you experienced, in order to rebuild and retool and resupply, is one thing.
Staying out of the game, resting on your laurels, and crouching under the shield of another for additional decades beyond any reasonable recovery period, is quite another.
Even taking into account Imperial divestiture and reduced resources and circumstances, your track record for postwar leadership is rather disappointing to those who had hoped for better.
Nolo contendere.
You can't rest on your laurels forever; at least not without others throwing up their hands and walking away, because others aren't pulling their weight, and risking the whole thing shaking apart.
Sooner or later, in such a highly visible position, you've got to either (a) begin doing your share of 'leading' once again or (b) move out of the way for someone who can.
A permanent Seat is too important to leave forever in the hands of a dissipated wreck who cannot or will not provide the leadership expected of such an exalted position.
You've had decades to rest-up and recuperate - time to get out there again, if you still can.
That's not what the Seat is for. If you're not going to use it properly, you're just taking up valuable space that someone else can use, and you don't belong there any longer. Time to fish or cut bait.
There are plenty of cheap seats in the General Assembly, if you just can't cut it anymore.
Everyone will understand.

The National Union of Students in the UK has voted to join the BDS campaign. So what? I can hear certain individuals saying. Well given the NUS represents 7 million students in the UK who will become tomorrow's "movers and shakers"; that's an important breakthrough for BDS in the UK.
As the article states, "In the 1970s and 1980s, NUS was at the forefront of campaigning against apartheid in South Africa and continued pressure from students contributed to Barclays Bank withdrawing its investment and support for the Apartheid regime. NUS was instrumental in setting up a network of anti-apartheid activists in the 1970s at almost every union across the UK."
Another step taken, another brick chipped away from the edifice.
