Protectionism does work - look at Germany, US, France etc - countries whic still have some industries left. This country has consistently encouraged its beloved finance sector to sell off any budding UK industry to any foreign bidder at the first opportunity. There is nothing left to build on now - the only thing anyone is interested in is making a fast buck with a quick IPO. Industry is hard work - everyone wants to get free money by being an instant celeb on TV or by being an influencer.
