Don't forget the brutal taxes in the UK in relation to the current economic circumstances.

The UK economy has faltered and not had a chance to recover since 2008. The more recent improvements really because of a reproachment of Brexit and global concerns around the US are welcome but not necessarily structural improvements in the UK.

It's no coincidence that the businesses that can easily evade tax and usually also sell illegal goods are the ones that dominate the high street.
