It's a social responsibility towards future generations. As without the companies there's no jobs and the risk of a loss of skills.
In no way have you shown UK investors are more short term than anyone else.
You're confusing brand marketing with how long the owners retain their investment. Branding companies would love what you've said though - a U-boat builder with a social responsibility. I doubt BASF have much about their war effort on their website but there's another example.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Gawd, Mayo, your constant UK hate is rather distasteful...The airport passenger duty and other charges mean that Glasgow's passengers are paying one of the highest prices worldwide for airport usage, but are getting a second-rate facility geared towards commercial, not passenger, considerations.“If you trust in yourself, and believe in your dreams, and follow your star. . . you'll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and who weren't so lazy.”0

Good thing the EU isn't important to our trade.
With EU trade at risk it'd be terrible if our exports to the EU are increasing in importance while our exports to the rest of the world are falling...
Oh, wait...
