No worries. The LSE collapses due to fatal infosec problems and the UK taxpayer picks up the bill. We could probably pick up some bargain-basement deals on whichever companies were affected by the trading system collapse too. In the long term, allowing poorly secured systems to fail is a kind of digital natural selection.
Complete nonsense. UK citizens enjoy personal freedoms and benefits that many others only dream about. I'm bemused by the fact that the better off we are, the more people complain about it.
So, apart from an independent judiciary, a police force that serves citizens rather than the state, a voluntary armed service, the personal freedom to learn, teach, travel, work, employ, practice any or no religion, support your favourite political cause, stand for political office and even vote for a different government every few years... what *has* the UK done for us?
The weather's not great, but hey, you can't have everything.
