Britain because our culture nurtures and incentivises it

London is a global city of commerce and was a global city of commerce before the EU was even thought of. It is a native English speaking country with a first class education system which is 99% funded by UK taxpayers. It's more liberal than New York, it's more interesting than Paris, and more fun than Berlin. It has first rate public transport in the capital, despite the petty whinges of Londoners and its road network is one of the best, if not the best in the world.

It is also a country that despite being under the dead hand of EU supranationalism still manages to punch above its weight simply because of how it wields soft power. It is a nation build on respect for the letter of the law and the sanctity of the contract. When we say we will adopt rules and enforce them we mean it, unlike France for whom single market compliance is largely optional. If you want to do honest, professional business, London is the place to come. And if you want to do dishonest, unprofessional business, well, there's plenty of scope for that too.

And while we drag our feet over building new runways, the capital is served by Luton, Stansted, Gatwick, Heathrow and City airport. The whole of the UK is a global hub for aerospace and engineering knowledge. We are also a nation of diverse and beautiful landscapes - most within a few hours drive from London. There's everything you could possibly want.

We are told that young professionals will decamp for the far east or mainland Europe. Who cares? Let them go. We are always going to have a vast exchange of people by way of being one of the most liberal and open nations on earth - and one that is used to accommodating and adapting to massive change. If there is an opportunity, somebody will step up and grab it. Talent is not a finite resource in Britain because our culture nurtures and incentivises it.
