This article is not wort reading strictly by the title alone. If Europe is not a desert, how can the UK be an oasis? Pretty much by definition the UK being the oasis extends and strengthens the desert metaphor.


My bad. I meant it to read that Europe is not a desert but the UK is definitely an oasis. It was a sort of paradoxical play on words that went a but wrong... Oops.


maybe...

While Europe is not an entrepreneurial desert, UK is still an oasis.

I dunno it strikes me as too clever by half, why not just go trollin' with the UK is an entrepreneurial oasis in the European desert (or something). Probably gets more clicks.
