Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

There is talk of a boycott of British goods over the questionable release of the Lockerbie bomber Megrahi.   Since Dysons are at least designed in Britain, I wonder if it will have any effect on them.   Dyson might want to increase the size of the "made in Malaysia" stickers on their vacuums.

Personally, I don't believe in punishing an entire nation for the stupidity of their government officials.  We've certainly had our share of stupid politicians in the US. 

*** Note that I am not implying that Dyson should be boycotted.  I am only saying that a call to boycott British goods could have an effect on Dyson sales in the US.     **

This is a story that won't go away.  And in 3 years may result in the boycott of the Olympics in London.  Maybe not?  Are you planning to go!  I'm not.  And have attended other Olympics in other countries.

For an update on this thread subject [albeit not related to vacuums, YET] here's the latest.  Warning: Don't read if you choose, it's your decision.

As long as Gadhafi and al-Megrahi are alive this will not go away.
