His vacuums are made in Malaysia.

Singapore was chosen to manufacture his electric car, as two of the largest markets for them are China and Japan, both of which have free-trade agreements with Singapore. Currently, the EU doesn't have such an arrangement.

Werent we told by brexiteers that proximity to market wasnt important though? The fact that we are barely 20 miles from our biggest market isnt important allegedly

BBC news has just revealed that the EU -Singapore trade deal has 0% tariffs on electric cars! So export to the EU is extremely attractive - better than UK. I for one will not be buying one!

Ha, a real loaded question there.

Personally I don’t care about anything happening abroad at the moment. I certainly don’t give a flying one about moaning expats.

And I never would pay all that money on a vacuum cleaner or an electric car.

Post BREXIT I do expect changes, hopefully changes that will put British people living in Britain first!

What changes though? What does putting British people living in Britain first mean? Are you saying that at the moment British people living in Britain are being put second somehow?

I hope so to. But I’m skeptical that the government will do anything for the people once the EU shackles are off and they’re free to oppress workers.

On Dysons. Who the fuck pays £300 for a fan. I suppose someone must do. Insane pricing on their products.

Plus what the OP failed to mention is Dyson has already invested between £200 million and £500 million on a new 10 mile electric car test track near Dyson headquarters in Wiltshire. This is key to understanding Dyson is in fact investing in the UK for the research and development part of his electric car project. The £200/£500 million for the building of the track is just the start, as more jobs and investment will roll into the UK once the cars start being tested there.

£200 or £500? £200 or £500? bit of a gap isn't it, obviously not as much of a gap as the £2bn spent in Singapore. You think settling for crumbs is the future of Brexit Britain

Actually the gap is £1,800,000,000 - the difference between £2,000,000,00 -£200,000,000.

I would never buy a car with the words Dyson on it.

Singapore has a plethora of engineering grads so a shrewd move on his part.

This will benefit Britain by proxy but not as much if he had kept it here.

I'm sure the majority of 'Good Germans' said similar things as Nazism gained traction in 30's Germany. In fact I am certain they were still cheering as first Poland and then France and the low countries were invaded. Not so sure they were quite so enthusiastic by the time of Stalingrad and quite sure they had changed their mind by March 1945.

There's nothing stopping anyone saving their schillings to buy a cheap house or the like in a downturn...yet the majority rush in to buy at the top and "dispose" of any extra income the rest of the time.

So in your mind using plain language to point out the obnoxiously banal neo-nazi dog whistle posts of a fairly open neo-nazi is as obnoxious as the original dog-whistle post.

I have suspected for some time that your views and opinions were more extreme that you portrayed them to be but I think you have just outed yourself as being at the very least an apologist for for the very worst of the alt-right if not a open member of that group.

Thank you for stepping out of the shadows and showing your true colours.

Thread has moved or deflected a bit. It's about Dyson backing post brexit Britain? Well have we had attempts to justify his actions - centaur quite rightly stated he's thrown us some pennies £200m investment which is a bit like giving £2 to us and £2,000 to Singapore! But if British business follows his lead - where are we going - or what's going to be left? Is he backing Britain? How many more advocates of brexit are doing the same? Mogg's investment company (Which he is a partner but has no influence - right) - opens in Dublin just in case it all goes wrong. Who else?

Before you answer just ponder this:

In the 30's (the great depression era) we as a country were so rich we could afford libraries and books in schools, apparently today we are so poor that we that such luxuries are beyond our means. Maybe it is you who need to reassess the true intent of our Tory overlords who cant find the money in the public purse to keep police and fire officers in their posts but can find £1.5 billion to bribe the DUP in order to stay in power.

Right now, there are a few thousand videos on YouTube about how to not be a debt slave. There are videos that if worked through and applied can make you any expert in any field of your choosing and improve your life 1000 fold ...and yet we have comparisons to 18th century slave like factory conditions when opportunities have never been better.

If you want to be puppet or wait for scraps from the the government to look after you that's your own choice and has very little connection to this idea fantastical dark overlords plotting against everybody.

"In the 1930s you couldn't afford computers in schools "

Well done you!

Your first counter is I used a word you used to disparage my postulation that we are being deliberately impoverished and our rights, freedoms and wealth eroded by those in power for their own benefit.

Then you counter to my statement of fact with that in the 30's you couldn't afford something that had not even been invented.

I could say something like: "Your brilliance is only outshone by the effluents that you secrete." but that would be churlish of me so let me ask you if all those self help videos are so good why is it that year on year more and more wealth is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands?

Could it be that the chains that bind us all are so invasive that for the most part we don't even notice them?

By making a huge investment in the UK at a time when there is so much hesitancy would have made alot of people sit up and take notice. What he is doing is actually championing the cause of Brexit whilst at the same time Brexit-proofing his business. It seems to be a really odd way of promoting a cause by limiting the self-harm that the cause will create.

As for using Singapore because it is near to his main target market, he was one of those decrying the relevance of a target market being nearby when supporting the Brexit cause. Odd huh... Criticising the Remain camp for pointing out the damage of walking away from our closest market whilst simultaneously setting up his business near to its target market.

Just been having a look at oecd and equality trust data.

Things are not that bad, the UK GINI coefficient (measure of inequality) is broadly similar to the rest of europe but close to the top and has remained steady in recent years.

You are not near as bad as turkey, mexico, chile, USA, costa rica or the massive outlier that is south africa.

Poverty is also consistent with the rest of Europe at about 10% and the uk lies mid-table.

"Thread has moved or deflected a bit. It's about Dyson backing post brexit Britain? Well have we had attempts to justify his actions - centaur quite rightly stated he's thrown us some pennies £200m investment which is a bit like giving £2 to us and £2,000 to Singapore! But if British business follows his lead - where are we going - or what's going to be left? Is he backing Britain? How many more advocates of brexit are doing the same?

Everyone is a hypocrite in some way.

"lmao not like you to over egg the pudding

Really?

Where do you think we are going? And who do you think is setting the course?

Before you answer just ponder this:

In the 30's (the great depression era) we as a country were so rich we could afford libraries and books in schools, apparently today we are so poor that we that such luxuries are beyond our means. Maybe it is you who need to reassess the true intent of our Tory overlords who cant find the money in the public purse to keep police and fire officers in their posts but can find £1.5 billion to bribe the DUP in order to stay in power."

the trouble with you will is you allways turn the thread on the tories and the rich you even done it before about the Asian grooming gangs yr talking about no books in schools now you’ve gone overboard again mate

You got me thinking Will...so let's see how all this money has been stolen - i've ignored property but let's look at the top 20 in the FTSE100 (we'll assume that your mega-rich enemies have close ties).

Now the questions - did they steal this money or did the consumer gladly hand over their dosh (partly ignorance/part manipulation/partly happy to have services and products to avail of).

This is where the cash came from....

Oil (consumers love to move around and buy plastic trinkets)

Banking (consumers love to spend money they don't own)

Pharma (plenty bad but medicine is generally good and needed)

Tobacco (devious but all down to personal choice/willpower/perhaps education and cultural environment)

Booze (goes without saying)

Branded household cleaning products (brand loyalty)

Mobile phones (Essential service most are happy to use)

Satellite TV (Consumer luxury)

Electricity (Basic requirement)

So tell me...was the money stolen or given away? Are the tories the real boogeymen or is it the marketing houses?!

You can't deny that one's economic future is most closely linked to your spending patterns (and if you can or can/t live within your means or generate more income).

They may have had libraries in schools in the 30's but they also didn't have marketing as an art and science.

Same exercise worldwide - 10 biggest companies,

Apple/Google/MIcrosoft/Amazon/Tencent/Berkshire Hathaway/Alibaba/Facebook/JP Morgan/Johnson & Johnson

Luxury branded computers & phones, advertising, social media, internet shopping, insurance, banking, branded consumer goods.

So there you have it consumerism makes the world go round - it's not rocket science.

The rich are getting richer because everyone else hands them their money. Globalisation has accelerated this.

Are you eating humble pie yet Will or will you creatively link this back to scheming overlords robbing people from the shadows of power?

There is a big gap between the super rich and the poor and its true to say those in power whether in politics or the top of business feather their own nests, doesnt matter where you start from as soon as they get into positions to get the snout in the trough they do. Labour politicians are among the worse, look at two jags and blair, even Harold wilson was an oxford don, so they all must be in the elite that somein here loathe.

The fact of the matter is if you gave 20 people ten grand each it most all end up in the hands of three or four a few more would have what they started with and two or three would blow the lot and then moan that they are poor,its just human nature

"At this point, is there anyone except the most cuntish of cunts, the most elite members of society, that still think there are any positives to come from this shambles?

Ha, a real loaded question there.

Personally I don’t care about anything happening abroad at the moment. I certainly don’t give a flying one about moaning expats.

And I never would pay all that money on a vacuum cleaner or an electric car.

Post BREXIT I do expect changes, hopefully changes that will put British people living in Britain first! "

Nice to plan the future prosperity of a country on 'Hopefully'.

Sum up Brexit much?

and then side with the richest three in order to stick it to the man (aka those who are not super rich but are doing better than them.)
