And my feeling about this is the UK may have to experiment.

And as a guy who has a preference for not only a liberal state, but I would probably err on the hyper-liberal.

You may have to experiment with hyper-liberal illiberalism to get rid of

of the sense of weakness and not being able to defend yourselves and not knowing who you are.

So if I think about Michael Atiyah, who's one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century, come to Harvard, I played ping pong with him.

He was absolutely British, but the name Atiyah

indicates that his family is from Lebanon.

Paul Dirac, the great English physicist, had a French last name.

Whether Disraeli, you know, so many great people from the UK have clearly been from somewhere else.

My feeling is you have to be more proud of the software that you built.

The software that you built is second to none.

It's the envy of the world.

And you've got to stop this madness of self-hatred.

My God, it's irreverent.

It loves oddities.

It's extremely dry in its humor.
