Even in our diminished state Britain continues to punch above its weight and our government has to actively set out to dismantle tech startups and UK companies that do too well.
Our vast population of imbeciles is entirely artificial though. The product of a lot of hard work by our rulers.
Look at ARM and the Raspberry Pi Foundation for instance.
Despite every effort to stop them happening. Zero subsidy or state aid. They both emerged in the UK through sheer creative force of will.
Now the UK government is trying to get them sold off to foreign companies so they can be dismantled instead of encouraging their growth within Britain.
Look at the TSR2. The most advanced jet bomber of the cold war era, that would still be in use today. Shut down because it overshadowed the Americans.
Britain is still possessed of that innate manic greatness. We're just stifled by a government who hates it.
So take heart anon, don't let your dreams be a meme.
