We do have variable speed limits but they are mainly down south because southerners crash into each other for fun (they crash into each other in Blackburn as well but thats for the insurance money)
I was sat at 50mph on the M1 yesterday morning for no reason at all. It was a lovely morning perfect for driving. 4 lane motorway with very little traffic and we were stuck at 50mph for miles. The problem with variable speed on motorways with lots of camera behind the variable sign is those without and possible even those with cruise control are spending too much time looking at the speedometer and not the road.
