That's an unfair characterisation. When it comes to cars UK is known for:- Running Europe's most productive car plant[1]. Building the world's fastest cars since 1983[2]. Being the base for most of the Formula 1 constructors[3]. When it comes to electronics innovation even ignoring companies like ARM and Imagination the UK has a large military electronics manufacturing base. I don't think that current government is likely to do anything to challenge TSMC but to reduce all that to "gold-plated power cables" suggests that you're not really paying attention. 1. https://uk.nissannews.com/en-GB/releases/release-11576-what-makes-nissan-s-sunderland-car-plant-europe-s-most-efficient https://uk.nissannews.com/en-GB/releases/release-11576-what-... 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_speed_record https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_speed_record 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_constructors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_constructo...
