Liberty Buys Virgin Media → corporate headquarters from Delaware to the UK

Great! More jobs in the US go poof...

I know to one of those evil socialist nations with 26days vacation and bank days for their employees.

Somehow Obama will get blamed.

Sadly true, for no good reason. The guy chose to buy a Euro company, and instead of running a UK and US office is only going to run a UK one, maybe the DOJ will step in on that.

It should really say "incorporated", not corporate headquarters. Liberty will still be run out of Colorado, not Delaware. Delaware was just the state it was incorporated in, like most of the Fortune 500. They aren't actually based here in Delaware and likely had no employees here. Place of incorporation is just a scheme to save on taxes.

"Liberty Global's Englewood, Colo., headquarters and main U.S. offices will remain in place, and its shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market. But the company will change its legal headquarters to the U.K. by becoming a subsidiary of a new U.K.-based holding company, which Fries said will give it more strategic and financial flexibility."

Sounds like they probably want to buy more European companies and being legally an EU based company will make it easier.

Thanks... THAT news brightens up my day. Might even lead to MORE jobs in Colorado. We just have to stop hemorrhaging jobs to ANY OTHER country.

you deserve it in your support a patents and copyrights

good luck with that
how long are your copyrights and patents again?
nvm im about to get sued cause someone said this 5 minutes ago.

Amerika (The land of the selfish and greedy) deserves it on so many points, but I am still an American ( a minority) that remembers how and why this was once a GREAT country and dreams of it returning to be that way again some day.

as a canuck north a ya
i say good luck cause when you were that way you speak of was prolly what 1945 after the war and its been a slow slide into facism ever since.

i hope someone invents opensource time travel ill go back and bring the founding fathers here at this time and then take them back....
what ya bet you get a major rewrite of that lil paper you all hold dear and stuff works out FAR different.

Their operational HQ was never in the US, they have an HQ in Delaware because they're one of those dodgy Delaware corporations.

Their real HQ is in the UK.

I'm sure there wouldn't be many jobs lost, and let's be honest, the net flow of jobs in recent years is to the US from the UK, not the other way around.

And we really appreciated the five you sent us last year
