According to Dyson it doesn't matter what the final trade deal is because he predicts the EU is a dying trade block (pfft). Clearly it does matter to him as he has relocated his business affairs to have better access to the EU trade block.

Interestingly, Singapore signed a free trade agreement with the EU a few months back...
What a load of utter bollocks. . This country produces some of the best engineers in the world. Formula one is quite a good example.
If this EU Army you are worried about does ever materialise I really wouldn't put it past a UK government to offer us up as cannon fodder in return for favourable trade.

F1 is a rich boys plaything to be fair. It would collapse otherwise.
This isn't about jobs. This is about a man who for over three years has declared the EU a dying trading block and that industry must hold their nerve, stay in the UK and embrace the manifold benefits of Brexit. This man has located his electric car plant and now his registered HQ outside of the UK so he can take advantage of the preferable EU trade deals.
As a business move I can't fault it. It just makes him look a bit of a ****.

The hypocrisy is that the UK hasn't got a free trade agreement with the EU, but Dyson has moved his business to a country that has.
He is advocating Brexit, whilst ignoring it for his own business. Nobody is talking about job losses.

All jokes aside,I’m to old to be conscripted into the Fourth Reich but if I were one of the pattercakes holding up banners about having their futures stolen I’d be a bit worried.
On our way.

Yes but you were all cheering at the job losses. How many jobs going from its head office. Have you read the whole article yet?
You are telling lies, who said I was cheering job loses? I was highlighting the tax base moving out of the UK
Just tell me if there is any positive for Britain in him re-locating his HQ to Singapore
That word did make me chuckle!

Well quite, it's all windy pie and air pudding.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was a virtually empty office in Singapore with an unplugged phone on the floor and a night watchman popping in two days a week. It's the fact he's manouvered his operation to take advantage of EU free trade that has rankled people after his pro-UK Industry and pro-Brexit rhetoric.
Personally if I were pro-Brexit I'd feel even more betrayed than remainers by his hypocritical stance.

Mate, the only posters to mention jobs were the parody PPF account and Sir Albion (who I am thinking is also less than genuine), Sir Albion saying the move was due to a lack of quality Engineers in the UK.
At a price, of course you can.

If you are going to argue, as you are, that he has two positions on one matter and that they are contradictory and at odds with each other, then you need to be able to show the circumstances or the “matter”are the same(they are not), for this context is vital, you shouldn’t avoid it or even disregard it so easily when you are having your opinion formed.
He has been quite clear that having a second referendum after negotiations for withdrawal are completed and after an initial referendum on an IN OUT question is not logical and is not democratically right, as the initial OUT decision(or even an IN one) negates the need for a follow up vote.
He has also said there can be two referendums where the second referendum can occur after renegotiations are completed.
There is nothing contradictory in these two stances as the circumstances around each “matter” are entirely different.
He is democratically right on his recent stance (although you will argue otherwise about another vote after withdrawal negotiations) and he is right about having two referendums in his first previous stance (the one in the video).
His first stance about two votes and the circumstances how it could occur is in fact what we have already done( in a round about way) and was supported by millions then and still supported by millions now. Its just both votes he refers to didn’t turn out to both be referendums.
Dont worry, i already had you down as irrelevant on this thread,i didnt want you to feel unloved, and also had you down as the gullible type ( as confirmed by your thumbs up with regard to a cherry picked video you dont understand)

Perhaps the bookings were amended and rescheduled (you know, just like airlines frequently do) and not cancelled like the twitteratti were screaming about.
