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.
Yeah, incredibly harmful to his profits and chance of further peerages. Fuck off to Singapore and stay there ye blustery old cunt, no one wants your overpriced vacuum cleaners.
Henry Hoover for life
Who would win?
An expensive, cordless, slick modern vacuum cleaner with LED lights
Or
One smiling sucky sucky boi
Smiling sucky boi, everytime
I love my Henrys. Beautifully simple, made in Somerset, and if they do break, every part can be swapped in 30s without tools.
Didn't know they were made in Somerset, my love for them grows
There was an episode of “inside the factory“ about Henry. Worth a watch if you can find it
Hetty Hoover here, slightly smaller and pink - oo-er - but £40 cheaper. Just as good.
Just wish I'd bought one years ago and saved myself a small fortune in vacuum cleaners.
We've got a Hetty and a Henry, one for the house and one for the garage. I haven't managed to get them to breed successfully, although they will both probably outlive me anyway so I don't really need another.
If I knew you irl I would SO be making a baby hoover and hiding it next to your current hoovers
Lupe is really good. Created by ex Dyson engineers who fucked off start their own company. Bonus that one of them is an EU citizen as well.
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.
Aww did the leopards eat your face?
If the shoe fits
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.
hello actions? this is consequences. we need a word
Coming up next: Presenter complains to court that people bringing offenses to light is devastating to their career.
Those Dyson hand dryers are terrible. They're so noisy they really hurt my ears. I don't know why people buy his stuff.
Marketing. Expensive over-engineered solutions to non-existent problems promoted as luxury.
Some of those hand driers turned out to be a health hazard, and a Henry is far better hoover.
Perhaps we should suggest Henry hand driers?
People would put their penis in them.
Is this an argument for or against it?
Neither. I'm just saying it's inevitable. I totally wouldn't do it but I'm sure someone would so if they did make them Henry Hoover should have a sensual and inviting facial expression so ~~I~~ someone else that isn't me doesn't feel like they've raped the hand dryer.
They'd presumably be mounted high enough on the wall that you'd need a stepladder to reach it with your todger and that might be a bit obvious. However, the establishment might want to institute an "all basketball players must be accompanied to the gents" policy.
That will only make them want it more.
And by "them" you mean...? 🤔
Definitely not me.
No, no, definitely not. 🤔
You say that as if it’s a bad thing.
It's more like a PSA.
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.
"Objection! This is devastating to my case!"
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
First thing I thought.
If you act like a cunt, expect people to call you a.... altogether children
Well I'm sure he'll be able to bandage his wounds with rolls of the cash he's exploited out of the people.
I don't think there are any cases of exploitation from Dyson. As much as I think he is a shithouse for what he did over Brexit, this claim has nothing to back it up AFAIK.
If you're a billionaire you're exploiting people - It's literally impossible to become a billionaire without exploiting others.
In the wake of what he has done to his country, it can't be harmful enough to his "reputation".
