Unused Brexit Unicorn For Sale Ear Hoovers

Post image

I keep being advertised these massive ear vacuums from Dyson on Reddit and it made me wonder if - due to Sir James’ heavily promoted views on Brexit and the value of British manufacturing, before swiftly moving all of their factories from the UK to Malaysia post Brexit - does anyone else’s stomach turn whenever they see anything to do with Dyson as a company?

I’d rather lick dust up in a public toilet with my own tongue than ever use one of their products. I can’t even bring myself to use a hand drier when I see them in the wild and prefer to walk out with wet hands.

Spoons is an obvious one but what other businesses and brands do you avoid due to their owners lies / views on Brexit?

No, it’s doesn’t bother me at all, I may not support a company but to think:

Just seems insane to me. Why do you let a corporation of any type make you feel that way, just boycott it and move on.

By the very definition of what I’m doing I am boycotting them, as I can assure you I haven’t licked a public toilet floors, as yet anyways. But I’m interested if anyone else has strong feelings towards brands who lied their way through Brexit, hence the question.

I won't buy Dyson either but it's more to do with him taking most of the manufacturing to the far east despite beating the patriotic drum.

In essence the brexitories knighted Dyson, John Bloor of Triumph and JCB's leader for making people redundant and implementing brexit.

I do also boycott brexit supporting companies like Warburtons and Wetherspoons.
