Picture this: James Bond, our quintessential MI6 agent, decides after years of rigorous training in London, to serve the CIA in America. An audacious move, considering he’s the very embodiment of Britishness, and his departure would no doubt prompt others to follow suit: betrayal of the highest order.
While not quite in the realm of high treason, the conveyor belt of homegrown companies, trained in the British market environment yet looking elsewhere for their big listing, should create a similar uproar.
