  Yeah, incredibly harmful to his profits and chance of further peerages. Fuck off to Singapore and stay there ye blustery old cunt, no one wants your overpriced vacuum cleaners.

  Henry Hoover for life

    I love my Henrys. Beautifully simple, made in Somerset, and if they do break, every part can be swapped in 30s without tools.

      Didn’t know they were made in Somerset, my love for them grows

    Hetty Hoover here, slightly smaller and pink - oo-er - but £40 cheaper. Just as good.

    Just wish I’d bought one years ago and saved myself a small fortune in vacuum cleaners.

      We’ve got a Hetty and Henry, one for the house and one for the garage. I haven’t managed to get them to breed successfully, although they will both probably outlive me anyway so I don’t really need another.

    Lupe is really good. Created by ex Dyson engineers who fucked off start their own company. Bonus that one of them is an EU citizen as well.

  Those who claim to “believe in Britain” are often falling over themselves trying to leave.

  Sucks to be called out as a hypocrite.

  Hopefully this will Streisand Effect the issue that Dyson is, indeed a hypocritical arsehole.

  See also how he milked UK taxpayer money to develop electric car batteries and then .... didn't.

  To his profits, or what? He decided to march to the tune of the Leave lies. And then he again decided to basically flee the country for profits.

    Yep. I hope he never sells a product in the UK again.

  Well I’m sure he’ll be able to bandage his wounds with rolls of the cash he’s exploited out of the people.

  • Syldon@feddit.uk ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I don’t think there are any cases of exploitation from Dyson. As much as I think he is a shithouse for what he did over Brexit, this claim has nothing to back it up AFAIK.
