Full Episode
But yeah, it's interesting that some people coming out of the UK have sort of disproportionate results, especially given how poor the sort of entrepreneurial spirit is in the UK. They tend to leave.
There's you, Jay Shetty. There's now, well, Ali Abdaal. There's now Stephen Bartlett. Yeah, what's going on?
What do you make of the state of the UK at the moment?
They're making every mistake. The UK should be so fundamentally strong in terms of it's a great time zone, it's got an incredible background, amazing institutions, English speaking, fast internet. There's so many great things about the UK. Natural borders, like it's an island. Great farming and farmland. It's a very fertile place.
And through policy decisions, everything is in collapse at the moment. Everything is in decline. They're overtaxing people so people are leaving. Only 1% of people pay 30% of the taxes so that basically if a small group of people leave, it has a devastating impact on the finances.
They've just done this terrible thing to farmers and now farmers that have been farming for generations are getting out of their farm businesses. Yeah. I mean, it's just really sad because when I arrived 20 years ago in London from Australia, London was the best place in the world. It was the place to be.
It was the most entrepreneurial place in the world and all the money was there, all the talent was there, all the fun was there. I mean, London is still fundamentally a great place and it's just like...
Yeah, they're just ruining it. How much is this is top down versus bottom up? Because the culture in the UK, the approach that people have to risk their preparedness to kind of break free from the trodden path, that also seems to contribute as well.
The issue with the UK is that if you're super ambitious outside of London, you go to London. And if you're super ambitious, you go to the world. Like the UK, you've got to remember, the UK took over the whole world.
