As a Brit that left a long time ago, the problem is the British long since stopped valuing people that actually do anything, and want the entire economy to be gambling/speculation on if others will succeed at what they are doing. They have now been learning, surprisingly slowly, that eventually others that used to fund this speculation start to wonder about the value of a middle man to do it when they can do it themselves. On top of this the absolute waste of talent in the UK is prodigious. The education system has been a wreck for decades, to the point it simply has to be a deliberate ploy to reduce social mobility.
