Well now you are back to socialism - and I too come from a country that embraces a bit more of that than some as well. But don't ever fool yourself - have a look at your banks brother:

Top Banks in the World

Great Britain exports a whole lot oh capitalism itself - other than intellectual property lol.

Oh and congrats on your Green Card! That tells me you come from some affluence. Am I wrong?
Oh Hell I understand they do a lot of the old dirty stuff. From my years at university I have come to understand how much is exported in the form of research. UK needs to have a little more industry but that's tough without having full blown capitalism because the country is too restrictive for most corporations.
