Somewhat unrelated, but I was struck by a line in The Economist's article about the visas in this week's issue:
"The spontaneous rise of Silicon Roundabout might have persuaded the government to leave well alone. Instead, David Cameron recently unveiled a plan to support it. As well as tinkering with the legal framework in which such businesses operate—by creating updated “entrepreneur visas” to bypass ill-judged new immigration restrictions, for example—the government has persuaded technology titans such as Google and Cisco to invest. Soon BT will bring super-fast broadband to the area; McKinsey, a consultancy, will share management expertise."[1]
"McKinsey, a consultancy, will share management expertise"—well then. I don't know how the tech start-ups will contain their jubilation.
