He should build a Dyson vacuum cleaner factories on those properties!

 

[parwaz786]

Yes!

Agreed! I mean, why not? Dyson was born in England so should stay here

I'm not sure why this is even a story. James Dyson built his business and pulled himself up by his bootstraps. He's created a lot of jobs and he pays his onerous taxes. Presumably he has the freedom to spend his money as he wishes. There is no reason to resent someone for being successful. The rich and successful pay huge tax bills that benefit everyone. Heck I wish success for everyone.

If you compare his contributions to society to that of the Queen, who's really done more good?

He did create some jobs in the country he built his main factory in-Didn't create so many jobs for folks in his OWN country.How many positions did he "create" in Britain?

Tolivac:

Apparently he has employed somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000-3000 engineers. Wikipedia mentions that Dyson may have around 4000 employees (but not necessarily in Britain). Given that Dyson is a private company, only a company insider (or perhaps Google) could tell you how many are employed by Dyson in Britain.

It then looks like Dyson is employing more British employees than I thought-this is good.
