RAPID RESPONSES
Growing negative
You are spot on (Britain is now an anti-business nation, last Thursday). These days I find the Conservative party an enigma – whatever happened to deregulation, low taxes and minimal state control, which are the core drivers for growth in any successful economy?
We seem to be doomed to decades of low, or no-growth, the politics of envy and a blame culture.

Cracking the code
I agree (UK tech sector is positioned for a global challenge, last Tuesday). Better tech education is vital. Proper programming and computer science education is key to homegrown growth. Learning to code is arguably more important than trigonometry.
A programmer learns the tools required to get companies started inexpensively. So why do we continue to procrastinate over getting coding taught in schools?
