As it so stands

[AlexAD]

Hello.

I see an actor saying 'Secondly. With British as it so stands ...' (Now he has been interrupted by his partner). I have tried to look up the entries for the words 'as', 'so', 'stands' to get the meaning but it wouldn't help.

Could you please explain that?

Thanks, Alex.

There should be a wider context, but I'll risk:

"the way things are" or "as it is"

Thanks, Mannysteps.

Your suggestions will be enough for me.

Thanks, Alex.
