Interesting businessman




Although I understand what you are trying to say, that is not accurate by a long shot:

Nonetheless, the hypocrisy of Dyson supporting Brexit and then setting up in Singapore is not lost.


Like most of the Brexit backers he didn't really do much business in Europe, pretty much anybody who did was pro-remain.


Farmland not land


Yes true, misread your comment.


subsidies...the more land you own, the more you get. Probably got massive subsidies from Singapore to build EV's there. Doesn't really matter if they suck or not, still money in bank and tax deductions in UK (transferring vacuum profits to fund saving the planet with EVs)
