Yes, spent all the article going on about how negative the British are ... kind of ironic really. Then this:
"Meanwhile to all British entrepreneurs reading, your head can go back in the sand now."
Oooh! Bitchy! I wonder what it's like being the only person in the UK with an ounce of entrepreneurial talent and ambition?
He's got some points and undoubtedly the optimism the US is famous for is a bit lacking here, but you'd think he was writing about North Korea rather than a G7 nation.
- robin_reala 17y agoI’ve worked out what annoys me about this article. It’s assuming that the point of a startup is to make you a ton of money rather than a ton of enjoyment. Sorry, but I’d go for the latter every day of the week. Maybe it’s the Britishness in me coming out :)

And you know, I don't recognise that in most of the people I meet. Some of them, but it's not the majority.
