It's an interesting read, but has nothing to do with the point that I assume MMM is trying to make

Dyson reckons a,shortage of engineers is the biggest barrier to growth in the UK.

Quote..... “If you export, you can only export better technology and better engineering,” said Sir James. “So you have to develop products much more rapidly than you have historically. Britain is not geared up for that and I don’t think the Government understands it.”

He said Britain “produced 12,000 engineering graduates a year – and there are currently 54,000 vacancies. It’s predicted that in two years time there will be 200,000 vacancies. India produces 1.2m engineering graduates a year. The Philippines produces more than us, so does Iran, so does Mexico. It’s not a sustainable situation.”.....

So back to the original point. Who pays for training these engineers?

Well, certainly not Dyson

As for India, that's one of the places we still send foreign aid to. Regardless of the fact that they can fund a nuclear deterrent
