Re: Dyson ain't quite wot it used-er to be
Oh, yeah. That nice Mr Dyson. Mr "Self-promoting manufacturer of plastic gimmickry"- sorry, Mr "British Industry"- who shut down his plant in England and moved it to Malaysia because it was cheaper. (#)
Dyson- on top of his support for Brexit- sees the future for the United Kingdom as that of a low-tax, race-to-the-bottom, bargain basement tax haven.
No doubt I'm sure he'd argue he'll move the factory back to Wiltshire once he can pay them a comparable rate of pay to that of Malaysia too. (And I'm sure housing costs et al in f****** Wiltshire will fall to similar levels). Because "let's become less like a Western European country and more like Malaysia" is everyone's vision of the post-Brexit future, isn't it?
Well, it would sure as **** suit those at the top like him. Odious, hypocritical self-serving vermin.
This is the free market, hard right Tory vision of Brexit that anyone remotely paying attention could see a "Leave" vote was endorsing.
Don't get me wrong- the blinkered Little Englanders who voted "Leave" as a "F*** you" to Westminster- so blinkered and moronic they didn't realise they were enabling the very worst of those same tossers with their protest vote- deserve to be (metaphorically) hit with the results of their stupidity like Joe Pesci was at the end of Casino.
Unfortunately, we're all going to suffer because of them.
Still, at least Scotland paid attention in 2014 when the Unionist apologists "warned" us that our place within the EU would be at risk if we voted for independence. I'm glad we trusted them and our membership is safe and isn't being taken away from us against our will anyway. Oh, wait...
(#) I like how there's a Telegraph article from 2005 in the search I linked above saying "Dyson is making pots of money for Britain by going to Malaysia". Significantly less so after moving it offshore in 2009, I'll bet, and certainly not if he succeeds in his "no corporation tax et al" vision of low-rent Britain.
