I will never by a Dyson product. Pro-BREXIT James Dyson is moving his business to Singapore.

""There are huge revenue opportunities in Singapore, China is the poster child of that."

By moving to Singapore, Dyson stands to take advantage of the free trade agreement between Singapore and the European Union, forged last year."

So he can trade freely and move about in the same way, but the masses can't?



Typical God D**m conservative, one rule for my advantage and screw everyone else.

He sucks, but his vacuums suck in a good way. Pricey, but way better than Bissell.

I bring it home and it doesn't work. Spent $2.19 on the plug part in Lowe's, and changed it. Worked like a charm. A $400 vacuum for $2.19.

and he makes the best vacuum cleaners.

His obligation is to people who invested money in his company which includes a lot of average and poor people's retirement plans.

Brexit was a stupid and xenophobic referendum and Brits were manipulated by Putin just like Americans were to vote for Trump.

Now, a couple of months before the deadline, he's bailing out of the UK to take advantage of EU trade elsewhere.

Do you really not see anything wrong in blatant hypocrisy?

effective in portraying a high tech, sophisticated and glam machine. Induced me to buy one. The reality was very disappointing. Clunky, heavy and very short battery life. Went back to my regular, old-style vacuum.
