The UK literally leading innovation in quantum computing with chip innovations, not to mention British Aerospace Systems (BAE) that are a global phenom making more growth than all of America's largest military contractors, Lockheed, Boeing etc since Russia started causing problems, supplying not just to Europe but the US as well (look up the railgun project for example, UK made the tech and the US made the machined components which results in a barrel that was getting worn out early - US bad - and US even claim it was their railgun despite huge BAE Systems on the side :DDDD )

Let's not forget that the US also rely on the UK for a vast array of military aircraft and system completion.

We have plenty of what you falsely claim we don't have.

We have no cell phones, no AI, no data centres, no cloud, no ecommerce, no social media, no software, no large gaming studios, no computing electronics and no networking.

It would seem that you love the US as you wrote in your original post, have no understanding of UK tech and (for example Rockstar Games or Jagex - global phenomena that WE the UK started within those 35 years you pulled out of the back end)

Nothing in this topic is true. Just anti-UK ragebait with 0 facts.

You have rockstar games in Edinburgh

Rockstar founded in the UK, not just that it has a HQ there. And then as mentioned you have Jagex - Runescape team. Let's also not forget NexusMods the worlds largest modding site for gaming made by... you guessed it, British.

Without the UK there would be no US.

Lol are you really trying to attribute Rockstar in 2025 to when it was acquired in 1998?! Rockstar is an American company don't think otherwise.

BAE isn't a digital technology company, it's a company that creates weapons and military assets.

And I never actually said we are not involved in leading areas. We have lots of research companies in the tech sector, but virtually no companies... Which is very confusing to me.

I think what happens is we do a lot of research and then sell that research to the US who then turn it into a mega successful product / company. Or we create a company and then immediately sell it to the US for a quick profit.

Shows you really don't know much about the UK and technology at all by this response, doesn't even justify a reply as it continues to be wild false and inaccurate claims like the original post falsely claiming the UK haven't made anything in technology for 35 years.

I'm not talking about ♥♥♥♥♥♥ little tech companies with half a dozen staff that serve 5 customers. I'm talking about multibillion pound tech giants that dominate globally.

Did you know that of the top 350 UK companies, only 3.85% of them are tech? That's a grand total of 13.47 companies, let's round it up to 14 just to be extra generous. and of those 14, you can probably name 3 without looking it up in google.

Compare that to the top 350 US companies that are tech which is 33%, that's 116 companies.

Are you still going to try and convince me the UK is bursting at the seams with tech companies? You're living in delusion if you think that.

A lingering perception that CompSci turns you gay.

You literally are one of the leading innovators in tech.

We are leaders, you all descend from the English.

There is a reason English is a dominant language.

So why do we have barely any tech companies? Where the hell are they? Like I said in the post above, only 14 of our top 350 companies are tech companies...

We may be leading innovators / researchers, but for some reason we can't seem to translate that into creating actual companies.

Are you completely asleep?


Do you know our governments were outsourcing our trades to external countries?

Because other bigger countries already have that market share

^yeah that, outsourcing. Typically failed colonial empires aren't allowed to become influential again either

The United States of America is a nation founded on independence. Signed on July 4, 1776, at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the Declaration of Independence served as the colonies’ dissolution from English rule.

It was also a catalyst for the contemporary value of freedom in America that everyone loves to celebrate with fireworks and barbecues annually. The piece of parchment, dressed with 56 signatures of colonial leaders, made its way across the Atlantic Ocean to King George III.

It was not until 1783, when America reigned victorious in the Revolutionary War and gained its independence from Mother Britain, that America had the potential to become the global superpower it is today. While the United States is now ruled by its own government system, signs of British colonialism are still present today.

Despite the celebrations every Fourth of July that advertise America’s separation from Britain, there are still many things in the US from their friends “across the pond” that Americans are not independent from.



England is the mothership.
