npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) I’m old enough to remember when UK was a major player in setting world standards (I spent many years attending standards meetings. Native English speakers are much in demand for editing, which can be a powerful position.)
This important source of soft power went unrecognised by successive Governments, which defunded the British Standards Institute, the Building Research Institute, and many other similar organisations. Our politicians are simply ignorant vandals.
