I need an island. :)

not enough

Bailout... wait isnt he a millionaaire why are we the poor have to support him... when we are in need we sell our shit and pay for our stuff because typically the goverment give us the middle finger even when we py taxes... and this fucker lives in the caribbean to avoid taxes

Imagine putting an entire island as collateral on a bailout while paying no personal income tax for 14 odd years. Get him in the bin.

He needs to sell the Island and his 2 cruise ships that he's just bought for $billions. He wouldn't give an individual a sheet of paper if they asked for it.

What good is this Island to the British taxpayer?

You don’t offer collateral for a bailout. You offer collateral for a loan.

Beardy Branson can still piss off. When he's sold everything he owns to keep his business afloat, he can still piss off.

Why doesn’t he apply for a Virgin credit card at 20% interest?

What if his research into manned spaceflight ultimately contributes to saving the species on a faltering Earth?

Should only be eligible for bail out if been a UK resident notrocketscience

Just like Robinson Crusoe on his own island, oh for Friday to arrive!!

Why should the tax paying public be held responsible for saving a company that pays no tax themselves? Considering that Air France and Delta Airlines holds 80% of the shares of Virgin Atlantic, why are they. Ot being asked to increase funding, or ask their governments for help?

Hey richardbranson , send me your PayPal mate, Ill help you out with a few quids and a coachard thats valid for a few more months.

Let him put it up for sale, b*gg*r his promises of collateral, they would not be worth the paper that they were written on what about all of his other enterprises. Like his fly me to the moon nonsense.

Tell him to fuck off we'd like to see him go under👍

Throw a live aid concert.

Including that is famous toilet 😂

I think it’s fair enough

Opinion: Businesses are taking coronavirus bailouts while leeching wealth from their communitiesThis economic crisis provides a moment for change. Rebuilding our society after the lockdown has passed will require rewriting the rules on how companies work Like the Beckhams, while promoting SaveTheNHS on their social media account - hypocrisy at its finest Could be worse 😃 It's no different than tax loopholes. If there is a legal way of reducing your costs then why are you in anyway surprised that business leaders wouldn't grab what they can? Governments needs to regulate. Also a CSR & Environmental net promoter scoring should be linked in to FTSE.
