General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Those who claim to "believe in Britain" are often falling over themselves trying to leave.

Sucks to be called out as a hypocrite.

Hopefully this will Streisand Effect the issue that Dyson is, indeed a hypocritical arsehole.

See also how he milked UK taxpayer money to develop electric car batteries and then .... didn't.

To his profits, or what? He decided to march to the tune of the Leave lies. And then he again decided to basically flee the country for profits.

Yep. I hope he never sells a product in the UK again.

Those Dyson hand dryers are terrible. They're so noisy they really hurt my ears. I don't know why people buy his stuff.

Worst. Urinals. Ever.

Dyson built their reputation with the bagless vacuum cleaners. Which were amazing back in the day (because they were the only bagless ones).

And that wave of success carries them to this day.

I bought a bagless Dirt Devil a few weeks ago as a replacement and it works better than the Dyson we used to have.

Funny how these daddies pretend to love the country but treat her like a cheap whore in practice...

Streisand Effect... I didn't even know about this at all lol

[–] Syldon@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

First thing I thought.

In the wake of what he has done to his country, it can't be harmful enough to his "reputation".
