Does the sun set on the British Empire now?

Answer 1

well the sun sets on their lands, but not on their people because the colonies of Australia, Canada, USA, south Africa..etc are still sons of Britain, not to mention that the queen of England is still the queen of much of the colonies.
Americans seem to be taking over now, how ever their expansion is not separating an American believe but a British one as the British have and had a huge influence on them and their culture. they would like to think we don't.

Answer 2

The term originally referred to the fact that due to the rotation of the Earth and the distribution of the land it was always daylight somewhere in the Empire.

Discounting the Commonwealth, I understand that there are still sufficient British dependencies to justify the claim (for example the Falkland Islands).

So we can say "the sun never sets on". I'm not sure we can get away with using words like "Empire" though in Blair's Britain.
