What would you like Britain to do about it?
Most benign empire in history, at least of the last thousand years or so. Certainly much more benign than empires like the French and Spanish, for example, or the Nazi Empire.

Nothing they can do about it. Canada would kick your butts and you'll need them to bail you out of the next mess you get in.
Yeah, alright. The entire regular Canadian Army is smaller than Britain's Army Reserve.
The Royal Canadian Navy consists of 1 destroyer, 4 submarines and a few fishery patrol vessels.
And yet the Irish terrorists handed them their asses.
You forgot the frigates that all others including Brits have copied.

Al-Qaeda killed more people in New York City in just one DAY than the IRA killed throughout the British Isles in the thirty years of the Troubles.
Too right it is. Once a British hunter-killer has sunk Canada's 1 destroyer and four second-rate, second-hand subs it'll be game over.
Yes I'd have to say the IRA did hand the Brits their azzes for decades.
Canada would kick your butts. You couldn't even beat Irish hooligans so how are you going to beat Canada?
City class frigates would run circles around anything you have, poke a hole in a destroyer and be back in port for lunch.
Did the Irish republicans achieve their aim of a 32-county Irish Republic?
For one, Canada hasn't got the military capabilities and would be wiped out in a few days and, for two, who's the Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Armed Forces?
Not yet... but they still whipped your butts.
Which makes it all the more humorous. They could do it with what they have.
The longest coastline on the planet is very well protected. You wouldn't make it past PEI. We've never been invaded and have never lost a war.
Your copy of a city class. They are still the first line of defense in US battle groups because nothing can touch them.
Oh, those pesky russkies, getting everyone all uptight again.
I see BL has turned the topic into another fantasy about Britland, too.
Kids anyways, huh. It's a good thing most of them mature as they age and there are relatively few who don't.

Not surprising. I think he was probably hooked on fantasies before he exited his parental cave, shell, or womb (or whatever).
