Strangely the discussions seem to be focused on salaries and the cost of living in the UK. The article talks about academics being lured away from teaching, which is a problem, I imagine that academics could perhaps guide students in the companies they employed at, like a paid course? Although there's a difference between pure research and getting stuff done. With all these people working at US companies it creates hubs of knowledge, networks of people, that in turn could spawn new companies, which in the long run is surely a good thing.
