Re: Nigel Farage
Dyson moved his manufacturing to Singapore because he wanted to be close to his largest market, which is China. He could have manufactured in China itself but productivity is nowhere near as good as Singapore and Singapore workers are well educated and speak good English etc. Singapore also has an FTA with the EU which helps but his head office remains here in the UK and he pays his taxes here.

I think Prince Charles could take a lead here instead of poncy retro villages like Poundland why doesn't he build some social housing using his many millions .
Where he leads some other weathly people may follow .
There are many housing projects in Tetbury -where he has his country estate but they are all super expensive.
I don't know where social housing goes .
They may have a couple of so called affordable homes stuck inbetween the others somewhere .
Perhaps there could be some tax incentives .
Build 10 houses for social means and gift them to the local government in lieu of taxes.
But then local government no doubt prefers the dosh .

He didn't move them to Singapore but to Johor in Malaysia .
Although I understand he intends to make his electric car in Singapore .
His research facility is still in Malmesbury and he still employs a lot of people .

Re: Nigel Farage
I'm afraid that Annie mustn't be able to read too well.Her accusation of him not being patriotic by not employing British people shows that she is apparently unaware of the fact that he employs many Brits at his British HQ. Many of these are highly qualified design experts, which is why he leads the market in high tech vacuum cleaners and other products.
Our forte, as Brits, is in these high technology areas and not minimally qualified people assembling his products at much lower cost.
It's no good crying the poor tale about foreign workers being taken advantage of, either. The money they are paid is, to them, very generous and if he chose not to employ them they would quite likely suffer deprivations.
