Barclaycard closing down card account for UK non-residents

Has anyone managed to overcome the extreme shortsightedness of Barclays who are shutting down my Barclaycard (which has a UK address) and which I have held for over 40 years, because I am a non-resident, (with a Barclays International account - which has a non-UK address)?

You won't be able to. If their policy is to only offer credit to UK residents, then you do not qualify regardless of where you have your correspondence sent to.
Why do you consider this to be shortsighted?1 -
It's Barclays' policy:

A lot of other banks are doing the same:
