> The key problem the UK is facing is that a load of good investment ideas get announced and then proceed to spend decades drowning in red tape. You make it sound like the attempt is valiantly made, but "red tape" is the sole reason that holds it back. More often with this government, the announcement is the whole thing, there's no desire to follow though or take action, just get good headlines. And the mythical "red tape" is a scapegoat. Standards, i.e. "more red tape" would e.g. have saved lives in Grenfell tower.
