To be fair, you're talking about the same government that cheerfully decided that "naw, we don't want food" because they were wildly hopped up on the "Brexit Means Brexit, we'll just get everyone to grow turnips in their garden" wave of woefully misplaced exceptionalism.

If it came to it, I absolutely believe that they would happily be evoking the ghost of Clive Sinclair as they boasted that we should be reviving our own homegrown computing market.
