Sony confirmed it is moving its European headquarters from London to Amsterdam.

To be fair, making personnel redundant and scaling down operations in the UK (as fewer people will be needed to service only the UK market), isn't shifting anything or anyone.

Hitachi moved its consumer goods manufacturing to Poland many years ago.

Too young to have heard of Hilversum...

Nope, just not relevant any more by a long shot, along with the while Dutch music and gaming scene in the grand scheme of things.

Actually most of the trash "reality tv" shows come from over there

Nothing to do with gaming and music then. Thanks for your continued valuable contribution.

Ah, the Netherlands, the gaming and music capital of Europe. Oh, wait.

Nobody mentioned Dyson moving its headquarters to Singapore

So a few big cheeses will go. The more spongers who leave the better. Hopefully it will contribute to the house price crash.

Eh? By definition the big cheeses will be being paid the most and therefore contributing the most tax. They're pretty much the dimetric opposite to a sponger? Not sure if you're joking or really a serious
