i think you have overlooked all the other Government pronouncements that start . Britain will be the best..............................................insert relevant subject here.. This frequently ends in tears and never happens of course., test and trace being the most recent example , national 'yacht' soon to follow
In a situation like this it demonstrates how ludicrous these claims are , short of closing all major airports and disbanding the RAF it would impossible for any small island with frequent bad weather and extremely limited airspace to ever become the best place in the world for GA . We could never compete with Australia USA Canada France etc purely because there is no room. Had they said , (even though they still wouldnt actually do it) , that Britain will seek to be among the best places in the world for GA in terms of bureaucracy and accessibility it might be possible but thats not a good headline is it.
