For example, Jacob Rees-Mogg&amp;#x27;s financial services company recently set up a fund in the Republic of Ireland to ensure continuing access to the European Market [1].&lt;p&gt;A simple look into Dyson&amp;#x27;s past (particularly with regards to the &amp;quot;Dyson Academy&amp;quot; in Bath) should tell you all you need to know about the man.

They are at best overrated. Take an example of Cyclone Vacuum, the brand newer Hoover cyclone vacs sold at HomeDepot I got last Black Friday for $70 is working as good but it&amp;#x27;s at least 4x cheaper.&lt;p&gt;Their air circulation fan&amp;#x2F;heater isn&amp;#x27;t as great as 5x of the price tag than competitors. Same with their blowdryers.&lt;p&gt;In short, they are hugely overpriced. Oh and, they use cheap plastic too - the air vent stand got cracked on winter and again the replacement parts are a fortune to buy.</text></comment>
