The thing with Britain is they didn't want to keep them. More land doesn't make the country richer. If say Jamaica was part of Britain then it would be a huge drain, having to invest far more into it than it gives back to try and give the people there good services.
The idea of incorporating far away places into Britain itself too...the way the UK is set up (UK of GB and N.Ireland) just doesn't allow for a new province to be added on as easily as France.
Would be interesting but you would really have to change British thinking quite heavily
