BREXIT

[mtread]

I see Sony Europe is now departing for Amsterdam. It's not Project Fear, it's Project Fact. Whilst Leave continue to promote Project Fantasy - 'everything will be fine'  :rolleyes

I see that PP&O ferries are another company also using brexit as their cover story for their long held plans to move the registration of their ships to Cyprus. 

Here is the real reason. Cyprus has an extremely beneficial tax regime for shipping operations. Tax is charged on the basis of the tonnage and the age of the vessel, rather than on profit, which offers substantial savings compared with conventional taxations.There is no tax on profits from the operation or management or on dividends received from a vessel-owning company, and the wages of officers and crew are exempt from income tax. There is no capital gains tax on the sale or transfer of a Cyprus-registered vessel or the shares of a vessel-owning company, and no stamp duty on ship mortgage deeds.

Cyprus is one of the world’s top five ship management centres worldwide, I wonder why  :rolleyes
As VNA always likes to remind us - remainers kicking leavers - you are kicking the wrong target.

Meanwhile the Brexit rats leave the sinking ship as Dyson announces he is moving his head office to Singapore 

I see it differently It makes sense to move closer to their biggest customers which is the Asian market, it is part of Brexit that we look beyond the EU to wider global market. Its only the corporate headquarters a few people moving and he will still be paying UK tax, the company also employs 4,500 people in the UK and has a research and development in the UK, relocating the HQ will not lead to job cuts in the UK, Dyson has insisted.
What is annoying is that a big brexiteer like Dyson did not see that his timing on this would be weaponised by the remain campaign. It seems that his beef with the EU revolves around the (already sited by me ) stupid power limits on vacuums that actually favoured German manufactures that heavily lobbied the EU and got their way.
Anyway I am not a fan of dysons I think they are a load of plastic sh1t and as noisy as FOC. Give me a Henry any day - a proper UK company.

He moved his entire manufacturing operation to Malaysia in 2002

That was 17 years ago. 14 years before the referendum. 5 years into a Labour government.

Go on VNA/mtread, enlighten us all as to how that was due to Brexit or Thatcher :rolleyes

[mtread]

Only if you tell us which bit of Dyson is 'investing in the UK', and why Brexiteers listened to Jeremy Dyson (or Tim Martin for that matter) in the first place.

And just to preemptive the response 

[VNA]

You seem to be oblivious to political events in Scotland, perhaps you're focusing too hard on events here. Let me enlighten you. The First Minister of Scotland is facing a misconduct investigation for holding a series of meetings with a former First Minister of Scotland, who was recently under investigation himself, but has been successful in his judicial review of the allegations made against him. Why the First Minister felt the need to claim these meetings were unofficial, when  government officials were present, at here home, has yet to be revealed.
This one still has some mileage to go yet. Cant wait  :lol
Oh, and do try and keep up

As I pointed out previously the judicial review brought by Mr Salmond was in respect of the government being in breach of it’s own procedures in their investigation of allegations made against him.  It was not as you said a review of the actual allegations made against him.

This one still has some mileage to go yet. Cant wait  :lol

That was the only bit you got right agricola. :lol

Former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond arrested - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-46984747

Yes this one could run for a wee while. :eek
