Well until quite recently, the UK was quite famously blazing the trail towards isolationism by shooting themselves in the foot with Brexit. The political gong show that followed was, I'm sure, absolutely humiliating. Surveillance culture in the UK is way, way ahead of almost any other Western democracy. I admit it's harder to find things in the last few years that the UK is worse at, but examples still exist.

Whatever isolationism brexit highlighted, can't be worse than whatever US is doing right now.
