This prick is worse than Farage and Boris combined, at least they have stopped peddling lies. He actually refuted making a statement in his own magazine to a BBC interviewer last week who was holding the magazine open at the page the quote was written.

Re Dyson, no job losses and continued investment into the UK is the actual news :thumbs:

Yep like I said only moving the exec and head office location to change tax burden and most likely to ease the process of moving the goods they build in Asia across the world (including Europe). BUT politically for a British company to do this right now...fodder.

Nah it will never happen, the Daily Mail told us so, so it must be true. I think any reasonable person must acknowledge that financial passporting is hugely important to EU finance trade and stuff like this was inevitable. I think whats more challenging is that many living outside of London will feel it has no impact on them...

The irony is its been happening for years and we all know all it, Google, Starbucks, Amazon, Vodaphone, Apple, Gap etc etc etc all have their companies registered in Ireland, Luxemborg or wherever to avoid tax bills and this is no different, its called tax avoidance or a dutch sandwich, just so happens they now have a great get out clause to blame it on.

 

On the up side though, some good news for Torqen and the impending doom for his business, the answer is above ;)

Not entirely true - there were benefits to basing financial centres in London that outweighed any taxation costs (such as infrastructure, a massive concentration of skilled labour, government support as the main industry of the UK, actually taxation of financial institutions was deemed favourable in the UK etc). Whereas Starbucks offshored to avoid paying tax full-stop. If it was a tax issue the banks would have gone a long time ago, they don't need an excuse to do anything they wield enough clout to make their own decisions.

The entire article is based on a director of a company that exports 85-90% of his products to EU being scared of a no-deal Brexit, its hardly a ground breaking exclusive as LBC are trying to spin it? 


How you can write an article like that and fail to mention that an 18% tariff will be slapped on our fish exports is beyond me. Thats what will kill it, not the customs delays.

but thats going to go both ways.

Did you just assume people actually read full articles and watch all videos? :lol:

 

But yeah, based on reciprocity, mainly due to the fact that there's over 1 million UK citizens living in the EU, as well as EU ones in the UK. It just makes sense and there's no need for visas for short stays (up to 90 days)
