Troy, you do realise that Dyson is one of the biggest agri land owners in the country. More even than Madge. He is relocating his Dyson HQ to Singapore, Corp tax is 17%. UK Corp tax is 19%. Two members of staff will relocate, that’s all.
He does receive a very big wedge in farm subsidy from the EU.
Seems he can’t lose whichever way the vote goes.
It does seem a bit short sighted of remainers to be thinking in the short term. I’m sure you are aware of what will happen in the EU from 2020 onwards? They’ve done nothing to hide the implications of the Lisbon treaty. Aspirations of greater integration can only accelerate the demise.

you sound like some 20 year old hipster with a phd in naivety and cum stains in your underpants.
snowflake cant handle it.
snowflake defaults to snowflake mode and sends red.
insult corroborated.
PM him your CV, he can't red you again yet.
my CV would ram home to him just what a useless, inexperienced and insignificant little amateur he is.
He's building his Electric Car factory in Singapore. That is hardly investing in the UK is it. His competitors are saying that he's doing it so that JIT supply chains won't be affected, although, I believe, all his manufacturing plants are outside the UK. Don't want to have to pay those ridiculous salaries do we...
I think most of it is to do with Asia having a bigger spending power than England, which seems to be suffering from stagnation and low spending power as cost of living rises. Meanwhile, Asia booms and leaves the west in the dust. Happy to be East
This week, France and Germany again were talking about aligning their armies as a central EU army... The EU lot, and the two Yermins coming in are even more insane than the current insaniacs, want much more integration, a single fiscal policy, and much more that'll lead to a single party Europe... Except that it won't because once the UK is out, the squabbling will begin and the EU will break up - it may come back in a better form, less federalisation and more mutual trade cooperation, science cooperation, etc, but the current EU course is untenable.
Interestingly, Macron has really lost the plot and may end up being the Brexiteers best friend by blocking an extension to article 50 and generally wetting his pants over empowering himself when the Brits are out.
Cycling should be banned!!!
No I don't think the decision to build the plant in Singapore was driven by Brexit. His views on the inability to get third country engineers is well known but it is not a problem due to Brexit. In fact many UK engineers (myself included) will not work in the UK, preferring USA, Europe or Asia. The reason is that the UK treats engineers like pond-life and pay them peanuts.
However, for someone so committed to Brexit to pull out of the UK is just a little hypocritical.
I think engineering skills were fairly low on the list - the design and innovation hub remains in the UK up road from me in Malmesbury. Its like JLR, the same will happen, they'll retain design and innovation in the UK and run production down.
Whats hilarious is the Germans with Rolls Royce, no we will always build RR in the UK, but most of it is made in Germany and shipped to the UK for final assembly.
Yep one thing Brexit has demonstrated is that Hypocrisy knows no political boundaries.
