Catherine Ashton has done a fairly decent job, being prominent in various peace talks.

British citizens do have the ability to be shameful. Too many of them can contemplate supporting UKIP. That doesn't mean governments should pander to them.

They do. It's just that Britain is washing its hands of it all, rather than pulling its weight, either financially or with personnel.
