given that the funding for our "science" is drying up like spit on a hot stove, and that the science that remains is rooted in dishonesty and corruption,
e.g. www.independent.co.uk/news/science/the-bad-science-scandal-how-factfabrication-is-damaging-uks-global-name-for-research-8660929.html

it's little wonder that any company with half an ounce of sense is permanently outsourcing its research to the continent

still, I'm 100% confident that our world-class insurance, financial services and call centres will save us from becoming nothing more than a grey concrete brain-drained wasteland from which no-one can easily escape unless they have the brains and financial means to study and live abroad from the age of 16 onwards
