James Dyson multi billionaire turned his company

[ex_pat_magpie]

to making 15,000 ventilaters.

The Cupid stunt of an owner who owns our club, also a multi billionaire instead tries to ramp money for his own pocket out of the British public.

Two billionaires but what a difference in attitudes and respect for human dignity.

There has been a few business that have been doing things like this to help support.

Not trying to take away from him as it's brilliant.

But a fair few have put human life ahead of profit.

Then there is our ****.

Lets be fair here, the conversion of his production lines is relatively easy. He won"t be selling many vacum cleaners and I doubt he will be giving the ventilators away.

Doesn't excuse our parasites actions though.

5,000 given away for free.

Oh..it let me read it, but link doesn't work...

Anyway, FT...producing 10,000 that we are paying for but he's giving us 1,000 and 4,000 to other countries...

This is what it says...



Dyson plans to manufacture 15,000 medical ventilators designed from scratch, following a call from the prime minister for British industry to supply the National Health Service with equipment to fight coronavirus.*

The appliances maker told staff it had received a UK government order for 10,000 of the devices and aims to begin delivering them “in weeks”, contingent on regulatory approval it expects to obtain on Friday.*

Billionaire founder Sir James Dyson is to pay for a further 5,000 to be made, of which 4,000 will be donated to other countries.*

Thanks for that.

Fantastic effort and gesture from the man.

Our parasite can't even delay payments for season tickets.
