[Closed] People who you used to think were OK, but now you don't.

Yeah, but that's very old news (so you wouldn't have liked him to recently now dislike him). He employs more people in the uk now than then, is the single biggest employer of recent uk engineering/design grads in the uk, the largest private R&D dept in the uk and the single largest private financial contributor to uk design/engineering education in the uk.

My DC30 is still rubbish though.

Boris Johnson.

I'm amazed Boris hasn't featured more heavily. I used to think he was hilarious, and the gormless act had everyone fooled. Seems he's also dangerous and singularly unpleasant.

Forgive my innocence, but what has a vacuum cleaner designer/manufacturer done to make it onto the hate list?

Wasn't he a vocal Brexiter too?

A collection of Brexiters.
Those that started posting Britain First shit etc. on Facbook
The out in the open racists

and Chris Froome for not winning in a boring way 😉

convert - thanks did not know that about Dyson.

Not sure why people think that youtube is not a valid medium for publishing political opinions? I was swayed to vote remain by a video of professor Michael Dougan on youtube which was linked to from STW.

Aggghhh the bloody brexit it's poisoning everything 🙂

I never had any strong feelings one way or another towards Yoko Ono. But I'm presently listening to Matt Everett's interview with her on 6 music, and after half an hour of this pretentious, self-regarding drivel I now dislike her immensely

IN that case whatever you do NOT listen to her sing or you will wish for that interview

Those folk who turn every thread into yet another ****ing EU debate

Even i fear to tread on the politics threads as folk say the same thing over and over again on multiple threads
FFS give it a rest lads- BOTH SIDES

Bono - liked him when I was a teenager. Have thought he is an irritating **** for the past 20 years.

Surely to cast a valid vote you should be aware of all the arguments on both sides

Battle fatigue is a terrible thing 😉

The main reason Dyson moved manufacturing to the far-east was due to Malmesbury council refusing to give him planning permission for larger premises.
At the same time Bath council refused to allow him to convert an existing engineering works into a school for engineering design, on the entirety bogus grounds of it being a flood risk, while all the time developing the exact same location for retail, business and housing.
So it's quite understandable that he should have a slightly jaundiced view of how businesses are dealt with by local councils.

Dyson?

Chris Evans. This was before Top Gear.

Indeed it is battle fatigue

Too many threads all saying the same thing
