Is There Literally Anything Left of Value in the UK?

The legacies of G.K. Chesterson, Cardinal Newman, the various fathers of modern mathematics and mathematics (Turing, Newton, Cayley, Boole, Kelvin,etc), Locke, Adam Smith (and alongside the formation of modern liberal democracies, the concept of the social contract and the understanding of the natural rights of man alongside capitalism and the Industrial Revolution) and Philip Luty.
Fortunately, you don't have to go to the shithole that is Bongistan to enjoy these things, so nothing really.
 
-if Kate bush is still in the UK, she definitely gets an evac
-save the members of my bloody valentine so they can make a 4th album
-tony iommi in honor of his years of heavy riffage :semperfidelis:
-nigel farage who tried to save them, but in the end the future refused to change (:_(
- Tommy Robinson for being one of the few Brits with a working sack
-all dozen or so of the hot british chicks :optimistic:
-border collies, because the beauty of the border collie breed must not perish from the earth
-any Welsh corgis on the god forsaken island
That's about it, nuke the rest to be sure
 
British cider is awfully sweet and artificial.
A sour German cider or a sparkling French cider is much better.

I mostly drink Canadian cider because it's marginally stronger than any of the imported cider but I do like Williams Sir Perry pear cider from Shepton Mallet, Somerset, England; none of the Canadian "perrys" (of the sort that I can find at an average LCBO liquor store) are anywhere near as good, probably because most of them are pear-flavoured apple cider instead of pure pear juice cider like the Sir Perry is.

Invisible Crane, this exceptional individual should be mayor of Glasglow

Speaking of whom, Grant got saluted on Twitter by Mark Hamill the other day. It's from the real "HamillHimself" Twitter acount, blue checkmark and everything, and not some exceptional individual pretending to be Mark Hamill.

Actually there are two independent classical record labels in UK that I love dearly: Chandos and Hyperion. They are adventurous, understand the need of classical music lovers, and run their business with integrity and vision. Universal once wanted to buy up Hyperion, and the fact that their boss refused made me forever thankful to God.

On the other hand, if we do nuke the UK, we can prove if Queen Elizabeth is actually immortal or not.
 
Other people have mentioned the countryside and some of the places you can go on holiday where the people are still welcoming and the landscape still beautiful.
Mostly what we have left in the UK are museums full of relics of a grander past. You can go the the rail museum in York and see a steam locomotive (SNG A4 Pacific "Mallard") that to this day holds the land speed record for a steam train. She now sits dead and unsteamed because the museum know that if she is damaged too badly there's little hope anybody exists anymore with the skill to repair her. Britannia, the royal yacht, an indispensable diplomatic tool and source of national pride sits decommissioned in Edinburgh awkwardly hidden from view by a gigantic shopping centre. Tony Blair ordered her decommissioned because she was allegedly too expensive to run and robbed us of one of the greatest ways to shmooze a foreign leader the world has ever seen. A century ago we were an industrial powerhouse with a network of railways, roads and canals that was the envy of a significant chunk of the western world. Through bad management, inadvisable budget cuts, silly decisions and the actions of a man called Dr Beeching we now have an infrastructure that invites ridicule and scorn.
Britain has lost it's enthusiasm and work ethic. Nationalist idiots are quick to blame immigrants but all they do is fill a vacuum created by people too lazy and complacent to work. We've been a 'multicultural' society for hundreds, if not thousands of years. We're easy to make fun of because we have an impotent and incompetent government who, no matter your view on Brexit, have made a massive hash of something which, agree with it or not, should have been quite easy to do.
I love my country, I really do, but I think you have to be British to understand what's left to love.
