Comments by "Nigel Johnson" (@nigeljohnson9820) on "Dyson HQ’s move out of Britain adds to Brexit jitters" video.
Interestingly he is not moving it to the EU.

No , Dyson is not moving to the EU. He knows the value of selling into the market without being part of it.

@josedourado3747 that is ok. It would not be if you measure your success by how much foreign investors exploit your country. Foreign investors expect to take out far more than they put in. It would not be a investment if this was not the case. EU policy is to bind member states together by cultivating co-dependence, why else would component parts be shipped inefficiently back and forth across the EU. Extricating the UK from the EU web is going to be painful and take time. Those moving to the EU may find the free trade benefits are outweighed by the burden of regulations and tax. Many will follow Dyson's example and avoid the EU in favour of far East tax havens.

@josedourado3747 no just more than you.

@grigturcescu6190 So what, they are not actually in the EU customs union, if they were they would not be free to trade with other nations.

@grigturcescu6190 the may have a trade agreement, but they are not controlled by the EU. It is only the UK that they want to control.

@bobrail2647 I had suspected that companies leaving the UK will go elsewhere than the EU. Those moving to the EU will be at the tender mercies of EU regulation and taxation system. Multinationals will not be keen to move to the EU as they are already feeling the effects of its regulation.

@grigturcescu6190 I am not part of Dyson marketing planning. I can only guess what the company strategy might be. Like the Germans, I do not mind my countries companies investing in other countries, I do have some objections to other countries companies investing in my country. While Dyson keeps R&D in the UK I am not too concerned. The EU is part of globalisation and operates a microcosm of it within the internal market. Unlike many, I see globalisation as nothing but bad. If have posted on the logic a number of times, but it has to do with the survival of the planet and halting the growing wealth gap between the super rich global few and the rest of the world's population. There is a power struggle developing between the economic super block, of which the EU is a fledgling member. What should be understood is that the wealth of the super rich comes from facilitating the trade between these block, and where necessary cultivating conflict to produce wealth differentials. It is the flow of money across these differentials that creates the profits that feed the growing wealth gap between the super rich and the rest. There is a much bigger picture than just brexit. It is just a small spanner thrown into the works of the globalists.
