If 'UK Soft Power' is a thing, maybe one of the first big steps is to stop denigrating everything that this country has done and start celebrating it. One cannot help but suspect that the British Council has so many difficulties is because of the prevailing wisdom in the corridors of power that everything about Britain is bad. As an example, the fact that Britain led the world in abolishing slavery (of all sorts) is skipped over in favour of the 'nation of slavers and racists' narrative. As you sow, shall you reap.
