Bravo, Wattyalan - this piece is a wake-up call wrapped in a masterclass. While some Brits still hear “BRICS” and panic-check their garden walls 🧱, your breakdown shows BRICS is rewriting the rules.

The New Development Bank’s equal voting power for all members? That’s the kind of fairness developing nations have craved for decades. No IMF-style “rich kids run the cafeteria” vibes here -just mutual respect. If BRICS were a pub round, everyone’s buying a pint, not just the bloke with the fattest wallet. 🍻

As for the UK’s absence: We’re clinging to nostalgia like a security blanket (see: colonial hangovers, Brexit identity crises). But while we bicker over tea tariffs, BRICS is building bridges - literally and metaphorically. Time to swap “Rule Britannia” for “Collaborate Britannia,” eh?

To fellow readers: Ignore BRICS at your peril. This isn’t about “anti-West” posturing - surely there needs to be accountability. If we want relevance in a multipolar world, we’d better learn to listen, not lecture.

Since I read your report and realised something huge was happening I have tried to discuss it with people and they have almost no idea brics even exists . That's mad.. I was thinking of brics represents 5 billion people and there's 9 billion of us.. perhaps a further half a billion are aware..can 3.5 billion people not know what 5.5 billion know.. your reports spin my head..
