    Lower tax would be a good start

      @witness1013 It incentivizes them to stay in their country and create their wealth in said country while knowing they will get to keep much more of what they create you muppet.

    Won’t happen under the joke of a government, they are turning us into a global laughing stock…

    All successive governments know how to do is raise taxes. Zero innovation, zero ideas on attracting capital investment to the country.

    The UK has a weak entrepreneurship culture, made worse by the British class system. It often feels much harder for someone with a strong idea but no elite background to move up and succeed. The US seems almost the opposite, more open to ambition, risk, and people building something from nothing.

    So my guess is, not anytime soon. The UK is still too risk averse and status driven to produce that kind of founder culture at scale.

    Most people in the UK care more about where someone’s degree came from or what their background is rather than the idea itself.
