Brits just want to swagger about and feel honourable. Look at how they dealt with the return of Hong Kong to China. Pomp, ceremony, wonderful! This grubby little problem just goes against that pride. So we just ignore it.

To be fair, Hong Kong isn't very happy about no longer being British now. (Different example than current, as there are a huge number of native civilians living there)
