[QUOTE="Lynbarn, post: 1203647, member: 146676"] Hi Tim, I may not have put it in a way that everyone understands, but the point I was trying to make was why stay in a small pond when we could do so much better in a bigger one? No one knows what arrangements will come out of any negotiations with the EU or any other part of the World, for that matter, I am sure that not everyone will be equipped to become entrepreneurs overnight. Already to day it has been announced on the BBC that at least one South African Company is planning to set up and buy some retail space on the UK high street. I happen to agree with you that yes we do have a screwed up view of the World, it has moved on since the end of WW2 and we are no longer the center of the universe, but we still have a lot to offer the World and a lot to enrich all our lives as well. People I know are saying that we will not have as many R&D project's in the UK after Brexit has taken part, but no one knows for sure, it is up to us to talk up just how brilliant this country is, if we can do it for sport (except football) then I am sure we can do it for our contribution to science based R&D projects, which will carry on, what we need is a change of mindset in that we need to have a nationally owned ideas company that buys in to say 50% of the cost of this research and will at the end of the day own 50% of the commercial developments that comes from all this R&D, if it should it be successful then there would be more money to put in to more R&D and what is more this country would be the benefit of all this cash rather that say the top 10% of company directors with salary's that they don't deserve as they have not brought anything to the table in the first place. Please don't take this the wrong way, but like the new PM I hate the idea that if a company or a bank fails then why should the directors walk about with a golden hand shake for failure? and everyone else get nothing and loses there job, it not right in my book, but if you have put both the time and money into a product and it earns you loads of money then that has to be encouraged.
