Schmidt accused the British government of ignoring the importance of science and engineering and of throwing away what he called the UK's "great computing heritage."

Too flipping right, all they care about is sport. They throw millions at that to get a few medals, which they probably paid for anyway, worth less that a weeks wages for most people, when just a few thousand invested in training an engineer or scientist could have returns in the millions of pounds for this country.
All the hype and fuss over the olympics, the feting and honouring of its "stars", OBEs, MBEs and all the rest of it, yet engineers and scientists rarely receive the honours they deserve for their achievements.
