The coming one could be far more substantial, Brexit is a colossal failure that gets worse with time. So much for the international trading hub, no other country wants to do business with a nation that reneged on it's most lucrative trade deal. The proof is in the ports, Hamburg's is booming while Bristol (which serves the Midlands) is boarded up. The UK can apply for re-entry into the EU but that too is problematic. Since the UK departed the EU, the Mediterranean economies have been prospering.

Technically - IIRC - the Sikh and Punjabi units in 1857 were newly recruited and not under oath. The Sikhs had been bitter enemies of the British up until 1848.
