  That would take Britain to start properly believing in its tech sector, especially in Westminster.

  I’m rooting for this! Countries shouldn’t be relying on the whims of a few companies. Twitter is a huge example of what happens when a country relies on a service.

  And this also grows open-source.

    UK is about the size of Oregon in the US and it’s population density is concentrated in one area. Being 3rd is a major feat, imo.
