Dwindling airlines in UK

Apologies to mods. Want sure where to post this.

Probably will be a pprune flame thrower session as per. But! A conversation with a colleague the other day came onto this subject. The UK as we know used to see a plethora of different airlines coming and going. The last 10 years have seen many a company go pop. Usually after a few name changes.

Even still, it wasn't unheard of in the early 2000s to hear of a new airline coming into life in the UK. Notwithstanding the economic climate heal dragging - for discussions sake do you see the UK going back to its entrepreneurial ways in aviation?

The current trend seems to point to a dwindling and culture change. A bit like the motor industry. A large amalgamation of a couple of huge names who then fight off the threat from other countries (Middle East). You only have to look on ppjn under the UK section to find most of the companies need deleting.
