Working in the UK seems to be relatively easy for people from Commonwealth countries, e.g. India. For EU citizens it's even simpler. I don't know about the conditions for Americans working here, though.
So, I agree, easier immigration is one point to base your leverage on, when competing with silicon valley.
The area around Cambrige, UK, already toys with the slightly pretentious name of Silicon Fen.

Pretentious, maybe, but it hosts a world-class company (ARM).
More than one. But it takes quite a few swallows to make a summer. (I am working in the Cambridge Science Park.)
