Boris JohnsonYou know, sometimes I don't understand what's wrong with us. This is just about the most creative and imaginative country on earth—and yet sometimes we just don't seem to have the gumption to exploit our intellectual property.

Whatever we invent, from the jet engine to the internet, we find that someone else carts it off and makes a killing from it elsewhere.
