James Dyson: The Wonderful Thing About Failure Is You're Never Satisfied 

He's UK's Steve Jobs. Not a whole lot to him if you really take a look.

BULLSHIT THIS MAN IS GROTESQUE

FYI his vaccums suck

He always had a base of operations and factory in Singapore and Malaysia.

He also blows goats… I have proof.

It's happening EVERYWHERE. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class is disappearing. The rich have forgotten the lessons of the French Revolution.

Hear, hear!

Exactly

If John Oliver took over your background checks and guest screening, the only guests who would make it past your vetting process would be Japanese city mascots and those reptiles from Flat Fuck Friday

I voted against it and I was right. There are no benefits. Dyson and his ilk lied to us. I’m so disappointed to see this ghastly man being lauded by one of my heroes, Stephen Colbert.

You answered your question, correctly, sir :) It was in their interest as they could exert more power and influence and get their wishes, when they only had to puppeteer a post Brexit government. The EU was too much for the people and too less for the 1%

Bamford too.

Wow, thank you for that detailed story…..

Disgusting. Thank you for the story, but of course I'm sorry to hear it, having voted to remain in the EU. Dyson is one of many liars and hypocrites who sold people an empty box in 2016 and are now blaming anyone but themselves for the consequences.

Whoa, sounds like the Colbert guest team didn't do their research.

You have great points Post to long most Folks will disregard

@@tonisodano5472 in a soundbite world, the smart ones are those who can read a whole paragraph

In America, I was not aware of James Dyson and his support of Brexit ( I still think that it was a horrible idea for the UK to leave the EU) and now that I know his history, I will NEVER buy ANY DYSON PRODUCT!

There are still 4000+ employees in the UK.

@@mduquenoyand the UK is losing tens of billions a year because of Brexit. Four million kids living in poverty!

From my knowlege most of the UK supported brexit. Don't pretend that never happened. You point fingers at him when a majority of your country backed Brexit. Brexit in a way was a "Make UK great Again" slogan. You guys thought that the pound would gain more ground going back to the damn queen victorian age. we are trying to prevent our country from making the same stupid mistakes right now

@@anthonygordon9483 17.4 million out of 67 million voted for Brexit. Sadly, only 16.1 million of them voted to remain in the EU. Like the MAGA people, many of the leave voters live in an artificial Russia and billionaire backed fantasy world of fear and lies. I wish you well. The drive for blue votes needs to be relentless. Good luck!

My knowledge of European affairs is limited, but I’ve seen enough of Farage and the likes of him to know that he would fit comfortably in any room with our right-wing MAGA types (well the ones who have money anyways). He and Trump are peas in a pod.

Brilliant! Yep, did you see them sharing the swearing ice cream kid! And recently loads of other lazy stereo types about the UK. They are so up their own arses they think they have the UK nailed, they still think Penis Von Lesbien (Dick Van Dyke) is still seeping chimneys! Fuchem.

Who the hell thought this interview was a good idea? Just one Google search and reams of info popped up on this hypocritical wanker. The Late Show needs a refresher course on vetting guests.

Absolutely, or how about Liz Truss while they're at it ! Have they even noticed, do they even care, there's been a lot of cheap lazy sniping about the UK recently, typical American exceptionalism, and glorification of wealth. Many say did he pay to get on ... ?

@@the_grand_tourer Nothing typical about American exceptionalism. Just a bunch of willfully ignorant blowhards yammering on about how we're #1. And it's kind of true. No other country beats us in incarceration rates.

i think this was a appearance to sell hair dryers.

@@NathanCroucher If it's like most Dyson products it'll be horribly overpriced

@@Loffstadt and underperforming as well as non recyclable

Didn’t take any government money to fund the ventilator development. £20m of his own cash.

@@mduquenoy You are absolutely right. There are reports that Dyson put £20m of his own money into the development effort. There is however the massive scandal of the £277m in government money plowed into the competition to develop new ventilators which didn't do the job. Contracts for these untested designs were prioritised ahead of supplies for existing, approved and tested designs. In a manner not dissimilar to the PPE VIP Lane Scandal Dyson was also caught out using his personal relationship with Johnson to get a tax break for his company in case they had to bring in overseas staff. Not forgetting the point scoring on his competition, bragging about the order ahead of the government announcement. Using a global tragedy as a marketing opportunity. I actively remember reporting at the time one of the biggest criticisms of the whole competition was engineers not listening to or working with Doctors who pointed out the type of ventilator they were designing wasn't appropriate. Although it can be argued that nearly £300m is a drop in the ocean of the billions wasted in unnecessary IT projects, unlawfully issued contracts given to mates and donors, and the billions in fraudulently claimed COVID loans that Sunak blithely wrote off while people who can barely afford to eat live in fear of their benefits being cut off. skwawkbox.org/2020/03/26/tories-ignore-5000-approved-and-ready-ventilators-to-order-10000-new-unapproved-design-from-dyson/ goodlawproject.org/revealed-government-fails-again-to-publish-covid-contracts-worth-248m/

That is a good thing

Only to the kind of fuckwits who would have handed governance of our country to an unelected Cabal in Brussels and claimed that it was good for democracy. Butthurt losers have been whining about it ever since.

@@wirehyperspace No, numbnuts, not your tea-chucking, 'yankee doodle' kind of traitor - the kind that campaigns to cripple our economy for the promise of waving the Union flag about... only to then immediately sack all his own workers and relocate to a factory in Malaysia. Of course, that's just the sort of thing that appeals to some of you across the Pond - "I'm all right, Jack - pull up the ladder!".

How is he known as a traitor?

@@christopherporter2459 He supported Brexit, madness for a UK business, (much like the JCB twat) then exported jobs to Singapore.

right? so awkward!

Absolutely, white washing by the back door.

Yah the public washrooms are terrible in Canada, very few of them around, and if they are around, they are out of service, or closed, and cleaning is very understaffed, they have become hated, disgusting things even among the middle class. Everyone thinks Dyson's hand dryer's are an improvement but the previous hand dryers people thought were just too 'old' have never worked even since they were first put it in. It is sad to see Canada's public system in such shambles that any improvement is seen as a success even if it is an over expensive hand dryer, that I guess you say Japan invented 30 years ago!

Dyson is an awful person too, so this is very weird for Colbert.

I was going to write the same thing. Idiocracy at its finest!

He also sucks.

It obviously wasn't the point of the interview.

Let's keep the British insults flying, everyone. The man is a twit!

I,can think of way better guests. This one is of zero interest.

Yup he sucks .

Thanks for the information 👍 In my corner of the world 🌎 I would never have known that background (^∧^)

You took the words out of my mouth! Colbert's staffers should dig more deeply into his guests.

like a fever dream - usually the commercial is at the beginning, and it ends with something else tangential, it's like they're learning

So let's get this straight, only Brits know it is a bad brand and Americans can't discern that unless Brits tell them, and he sold a huge amount of them and got rich on a brand Americans couldn't tell was bad, and that makes some kind of sense?

Like all other billionaires

Same! The moment I saw his name I wanted to comment saying how awful he is. Turns out people are already doing it

I think this might be the highest interaction I've seen with the Brits on this channel. (I was here for the same reason too btw.) I think this is my first ever downvote of a Colbert interview, and hopefully the 2 second watch time will help to screw the algorithm for the clip too.

Advocated Brexit to jump ship after he got what he wanted. Event though I am from Germany, Dyson Corp is dead to me. Will never buy from sbd like him

I am so sorry for the british people who didn't want Brexit and knew it would be bad.

Where did he go again, Singapore?

Remember he also stole his designs.

And a tax dodger

The ghost of Stonewall Jackson?

As a UK resident he paid £236 million in UK tax last year so where is the avoidance. Lots of jobs still in the UK at their Global Design HQ. Do your research before you make incorrect statements.

Do keep up. He lives in the UK. 🤦‍♂️

My husband and son bought one of his vacuums. It lasted one year, not recyclable -in any way-, just overpriced, plastic steampunk junk.

@@sheppono one gives a toss! They hate him for his support for Brexit, and rightfully so.

$500 for a hair dryer. What The Actual FFFK?!

So true, let’s bring a £65,000 per year striking train driver.

No, this isn't Seth Meyers 🐾🐾

Brexit supporter, sure. everything else you said happened didn’t happen. HQ moved abroad sure, jobs stayed in the UK, they’re constantly hiring and investing, and he lives in UK.

⁠@@sheppohow do the headquarters of a company move abroad whilst jobs stay in the UK? I’m asking genuinely, not being a dick. Just confused by what you said.

@@sheppo Of course he is now hiring because conditions for him/his company have improved as the country is now more desperate for jobs. But of course that doesn't necessarily mean better conditions for workers, who are also desperate for jobs after the economic downturn caused by Brexit and the pandemic. Conclusion: He exploits the conditions that he (at least partially) helped to create.

James Dyson certainly does suck.

You're speaking with British peaople now - you're allowed to say cunt.

He sucks way more than his overpriced vacuums.

Have you seen their hair drier? Cost an absolute fortune for a hair drier

The cleaners are terrible. They may look nice but Shark is the best I think. Hoover used to be the standard at one time, but they are mostly gone now. Dyson has no conscience. He’s a piece of scum and Stephen should never have allowed him on.

@@leecollins125 I don’t care. I have a cleaner and she says it’s the best vacuum she’s ever used. I did have a dyson once and it was awful, just like the man himself.

@@leecollins125 which makes it worse for him charging rip off prices especially if he himself stole his ideas

@@leecollins125 why would you celebrate someone ripping you off for the same product?

Yeah, he's a bit of a bite-size British Elon.

I love his vacuum and hair dryer though. Nothing else even comes close. I like Singaporeans too.

@@blessingsoutlaw We had to have our V10 repaired by Dyson. Would have been cheaper to buy a rival product.

I disagree. His products are excellent and very well regarded in the UK.

@@eh6454 Service agents love them because they breakdown much more often than the rivals!!!

I couldn't afford those $500 Dyson vacs so I picked up like a $100 Shark Navigator vacuum years ago... It's been like ten years and the thing just will not break down

@@leecollins125 haha yes. And I will surely miss walking past the aborted EV prototype in the middle of the cafe!

How is that a boomer story? They prospered on luck and you had to struggle or something? Envy dripping all over the page.

paid me well enough for 35 yrs so i could relax a wee bit in my old age....

Why not, Brexshit?

Yes, like illegal fox hunting.

The cyclone vacuum cleaner concept wasn't new either. It was already used in industry for dust collection. He just scaled it down for consumer use, patented the crap out of it, and then sued everyone he could.

He also helped sell Brexit, and that was really stupid, really really stupid.

@@OptimisticHominid true, although I can't stay (as) angry at half the country for that. It's the hypocrisy of the Singapore move afterwards that makes him reprehensible.

He skipped over the damaged he helped inflict on UK citizens because of his support for Brexit.
