The British system will be 'World beating' and exportable. To whom and why? Why pay for something that someone else provides for free?
This is a constant theme, where we British believe everything we have is "the best in the world" or "world beating".

We've got the best legal system in the world, the best health service in the world, a world beating Covid-19 tracking system, the world's best climate, the world's best universities; and I'm sure our virtually unique (outside of the Commonwealth countries) three-pin electrical socket system is the safest in the world.

Most of these claims are false; however we are among the best in most of the fields, save the for the climate over which we as little old UK has no control.

Our air of self importance and supremacy has got us where we are today; largely deluded.
