Oh that’s good, the forum schizophrenic has cleared it up nicely for everyone.

The banks are going as well , less tax ?
Oh dear , too bad , cherrio |
|
By:
now Dyson has said Brexit is good for Britain
He didn’t say it was good for himself, Don’t confuse one with the other |
|
By:
The banks have said Brexit is bad for Britain
They didn’t say it was bad for themselves Now I prefer Dysons form of honesty , yes |
|
By:
so are you saying Brexit is good for his business ?
|
|
By:
No answer from Eboue , he’s a remainer they’re slow learners
Let’s see .... |

I've had the same Dyson vacuum cleaner for over sixteen years.
Absolutely superb piece of equipment and I've not yet had a single problem with it. |
|
By:
Still no answer from Eboue .....
|
|
By:
Eboue wants to watch his language, imo.
|
|
By:
He’s like that , he’s pretty quiet now though
|

Nevermind , sometimes the question is more important than the answer
more enlightening. , more beautiful |

You got to love these hypocrites
Big business has been leaving the UK for years factories closing British compaines taken over and tbier head quaters moved abroad,all this long before Brexit All we got off the elist haters was Britain is service economy now we dont need manufacturing anymore. Yet now we have Brexit these fools are now fully paid up supports of our industry. Showm me your outraged posts when both Sony and Dyson closed down their UK factories? |

If you've had it for 16 years Trilby I presume it's not cordless. Mine is and you need to be a civil engineer to empty the thing ( it's possible I have a dodgy one ) but when it does condescend to work it fills up in 5 mins.
|
|
By:
No, it's a corded stand-up cylinder type. I've never given any of these cordless things any credence.
|

Handy for the car though, I suppose.

Good post from macarony.
Same with the shrinking of the coalmining industry. How many jobs were lost there without so much as a whimper from the ones who now get hysterical at two jobs from Dyson going to Singapore? |
|
By:
Hi Crippen -seeing as you must have missed it earlier:
In moving HQ the UK exchequer will no longer receive tens of millions of pounds of Dyson corporation tax payments every year. Is that clear? |

Jeremy Dyson
is a Businessman first an Englishman ….. 2nd. |

facebook,google etc set their headquaters up and that's considered as the origin of the country visa vi their tax status,hard to believe that eventually if Singapore is considered the country under which dyson,s tax is calculated ,that's where it will be paid ,regardless of how many workers he has here or turnover he has in the uk, this is a brucie bnus on top of the trade deal access he,ll have into 600 million people of the EU,the same 600 million he campaigned for business,s in the uk to tuyrn their back on,
when dyson was on platforms with bojo ,fox etc in the campaign they were selling the dream of Singapore on thames ,less regulation,less red tape,workers rights etc,etc, this is obviously now a distant dream for bojo,dyson and co |

So beeswax Dyson farming will lose its single farm payment when we leave the eu, that's really selfish of Mr Dyson, you wonder why heseltine wants to keep getting his?
|
|
By:
Well said indeed 1st time poster.
|
|
By:
Singapore has a trade deal with the EU , without being part of the EU and without having freedom of movement
That’s all you need to know |

A wad the powr the gift tae gie us tae see oursell as ithers see us.

|
By:
no answer from Eboue yet here it is again
so are you saying Brexit is good for his business ? |
|
By:
|
|
By:
Let’s see if Eboue can answer without being rude
anythings possible ..... |
|
By:
Let's look at the evidence shall we?
The man advocates Brexit then, just weeks before we're set to leave, moves his HQ to a foreign country. That would suggest Brexit is going to be detrimental to his business and the man is, in fact, a liar and a charlatan. |
|
By:
ok don’t answer that’s fine , I only ask the question
|
|
By:
I've just answered it. Are you blind as well as stupid?

I've never given any of these cordless things any credence. I have a Dyson cylinder cleaner, not stand up. I bought it because it is one of the most attractive household appliances I have ever seen...it is bordering on art. However it does have a lot of suck. So I will be glad when it dies, although I will keep it for ornamentation. EU rules limit suck, whether Dyson1 stays here or goes to singapore his hoovers should have more suck now. |

it does NOT have a lot of suck

You wanting a hoover or linda feckin Lovelace?
|

By:
Here’s the question again Eboue you havent answered
You said a business man would never advocate something that was bad for his business Dyson was in favour of Brexit Do you think Brexit is good for business ? Go ahead , let’s see |
|
By:
Actually nothing will change on Dyson vacuum cleaners, as they will be imported to the EU won't they?
The EU reduced suck rule was so Vacuum Cleaners would use less energy, but since they now have to be used for a longer period to pick up the same amount as before, it is hardly saving much energy is it  |

A person in charge of a company would never, ever advocate something that was bad for his company. The role of business is to make money for shareholders.
Dyson was in favour of Brexit. Do I think Brexit is bad for Dyson? Well yes I do, judging on his decision to move the HQ of his business to a foreign land. Why would he do that if Brexit was going to benefit his business? |

By:
I could have recommended one of my ex girlfriends to help you, she could suck a tennis ball through a garden hose.
|

By:
Eboue it’s one or the other I don’t mind
Either busisnessman world never advocate something that is bad for his business Or he would and that’s what Dyson has done ( and why would he ) Which is it ? |
|
By:
Too difficult a question?
Ok nevermind |

politicspunterI got my penis stuck in a vacuum cleaner. WHAT DO I DO? I was giving myself some happy time... when it got stuck. I have work in the morning.. i don't want to go to work with a hose on my penis. How to i get it off? I found this on yahoo I seem to remember years ago someone performing on stage getting his penis stuck in a vacuum cleaner. So perhaps that was the REAL reason why suck had to reduced on vacuum cleaners. |
