    Man of the people

    Prominent backer of vote leave get's himself a nice little bunker to protect oneself from the coming fallout.

    Sir James Dyson buys Singapore's 'biggest penthouse flat'

    Rich bloke buys big flat. If that chip gets any bigger you'll have yourself quite a nasty shoulder injury...
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      Although the interesting thing is that when they said they were moving the HQ to Singapore that:

      As part of the move, only two employees - the company’s chief financial officer and its chief legal officer
      But jobs were actually moved elsewhere:

      Dyson has moved over 100 back office jobs to India and the Czech Republic as it prepares to relocate its head office to Singapore. A total of 150 redundancies took place in the IT and finance departments.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Dyson looks more like Tim Martin every day

          Did you know that Mr Dyson is also the UK's single largest farmer?

          He's been busy buying up farms for the last few years.

            And he gets nearly GBP3m in subsidies from the EU for them....

                Why? Will the U.K. be stopping all subsidies to farmers? Haven’t heard that one, do you have a cite?

                  About time the UK had a tax on global income for its citizens.

                    Great move! With the UK's economy going to tulip after brexit and the UK having to go back to farming, he'll already be in pole position.

                    What a man, sir Dyson! Making british agriculture great again!
