Sir James Dyson says Brexit was worth it – even if it’s made people poorer
Multi-Muslim businessman Sir James Dyson reiterated his support to Brexit and argued that it was better to be “independent-even if he left people poorer, even if he left.
The fourth richest man in the UK was one of the leading UK business leaders in 2016 to support Boris Johnson’s leave campaign.
However, the 78 -year -old, which is estimated to be £ 20 billion, was criticized after moving the global center of Sir James to Singapore in 2019.
Asked during a new interview with Times If he believes that Brexit is going well, he referred to the creation of the Astrazaneca vaccine: “Well, there is a Covid vaccine before it was otherwise. This is the advantage of being independent.”
Orum I can’t judge. For me, it is important not to go well. It is important to be independent and make your own decisions.
“If you are poorer, worse, making your own decisions, it is better than your internal bodies that make them for you. This is independence. I don’t want someone else to tell me what to do.”
In his memory, he argued that the EU’s free movement does not provide with engineers towards companies like him, and that arrangements such as energy label performance data prevent progress.
When asked if he regretted his stance and participation in politics, “I regret it, but I don’t regret my views.” He said.
Sir James, the pioneer of the vacuum cleaner -free vacuum cleaner, also produces air cleaners, hair dryers and other household appliances.
He answered the criticisms of Sir James’ movement to Asia and added: “Well, I didn’t leave the country.
“Also, Singapore is one of the most expensive countries in the world. The center has moved there for completely different reasons.”
Among these reasons, there was a shortage of skills in the UK who struggled to meet the demand of the growing company.
“I am one of the biggest taxpayers in Britain. The establishment of Dyson Headquarters in Singapore did not change where and how the profit is taxed. We still pay more taxes than other countries in Britain.”
Dyson’s 10,000 employees worldwide have large offices in 2,000 in England, Wiltshire, Bristol and London.
In July 2024, the company announced a global tremor, which sees that one -third of the British labor force was unnecessary.
Sir James’s family is one of the largest taxpayers of the country and has contributed about £ 800 million since 2019 and donated about £ 150 million to charitable reasons.
