I think that this is probably what Boris is thinking of:

Or back in 1981:

The UK had the first digital telephone exchange. Went live for about 5 minutes? Then in the 1980s we ended up getting them from abroad!
I would like to see the UK lead the world in energy supply - coal, nuclear and renewable. In electric cars. And fusion.
Sadly the UK usually has great ideas then fails to capitalise on them.....

As I've been bleating on about for years, the UK is near bankrupt with eye watering debt and an economy that does compensate citizens enough monthly income to afford decent housing. Yet somehow immigrants are to blame rather than the Tories unregulated banking system. There's nothing that can be done to recover the economy but a hard crash of the housing market and a rampant increase of interest rates. Murica is heading the same way.

Originally posted by scooterscot View PostI think the point is the UK will portion money for projects as the EU currently does. If anything the UK will introduce more government into the process, not less. Right now it is fairly easy to apply and receive EU funding.
