This is the thing that a lot of people will say in response to this, which is, you know, those that do remember, remember the 70s. I don't remember the 70s. I wasn't born in either of you. But what they will tell you is the reason Thatcher ended up being so popular is she came in at a time when literally the dead weren't being buried and rubbish was piling up in the streets. or shortly after that.

And she created a country full of aspiration and drive and a willingness to do business and cut regulation and all of this other stuff. And this is why we talk about the Trump victory has the potential, but as we've been discussing, there's a long, long way to go and a lot of things need to get turned around.

So my view on it is that it's my duty as someone who's an immigrant to this country, to whom this country has given a lot, has given the opportunity to be who I am, to give it my best shot in terms with the tiny amount of influence that I have to do everything that I can. But I'm not wedded to the idea of going down with the ship.

And this is the point I would make about, there's a lot of sneering about this idea of the talented and the wealthy and the successful leaving. Oh, these are mercenary people. We didn't want them anyway. A lot of them really aren't mercenary at all. A lot of them would have much rather stayed in the UK. A lot of them would have much rather had their business in the UK.

A lot of them would have much rather created jobs in the UK than in Dubai or in Texas or somewhere else. A lot of them would love to be here.

They've got their children in a nice school or whatever.
