To quote Richard Dawkins in his 1996 Richard Dimbleby lecture;

ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics.
In Britain, that is. I believe the same is not true of our more
successful economic competitors, Germany, the United States and Japan"


Engineers' wages are also sky high in other countries compared to the UK
(Germany and the US are prime examples, I don't know about Japan), and with
engineering being a "wealth creating" sector, it's not a good idea to pay
engineers shit wages, yet we do.
