Yep. I can see it now... "Scottish technology firm Skyscanner sells out to foreign interests". vs. "British technology firm Skyscanner does something the media sees in a positive light"

I don't think OP meant that this is the Failure=Scottish/Success=British terminology thing (which I'm not convinced exists), but more that the UK media will use this as a way to peddle their "Broken Britain" message. ARM's sale was seen in people like us in tech as just another huge acquisition, but the UK media portrayed it as evidence that the UK is "losing" and that something needs to be done about it.
