Let’s give billionaires bailouts.. the world is fucked

The public aren't happy ..... billionaire getting help fookin madness

Make a wish🙏🏻 Save 😃s & 🇬🇧Rock Spirits💫 TheBeatles - Help! 🆘

not paying tax in the UK, not getting free money from the UK. Get lost Branson. Don’t even think about it Conservatives

richardbranson is a parasite.

This dude needs to be locked on his island for good

No no no!!!!

They can get lost, no pay tax in UK no bailout

But if Richard Branson will sell on auction his outfit of bride, that mess will be solved

Companies that don't pay tax in the UK should not be bailed-out using tax-payers' money. Virgin Atlantic, which hangs its own employees out to dry during a major health crisis, should either be re-financed by the billionaire richardbranson or allowed to go down the toilet.

Any business that can't afford to run for 5 weeks of disturbed trading doesn't deserve to be in business. Share holders should pay the price.

How many Shenyang J-5’a are they planning on purchasing?

Why doesn't Branson sell his fucking island to raise cash?

nobailouts and no taxpayer paid caribbean paradise for govt officials.

yep... UK Govt will certainly be interested in a Necker Island plus deal....😊

Perth Airport blocks Virgin Australia planes with trucks - Business InsiderPerth Airport has resorted to blocking Virgin Australia planes with a bulldozer in an attempt to get the airline to pay its debt To attract better, you have to become better yourself. You can’t do the same things and expect change. You can’t blame anyone or anything. It’s time to take responsibility for your reality. Start transforming your mindset. Start upgrading your habits. Start being more positive. Great. Love it. Virgin Shareholders - pay your suppliers, contractors and employees. Do the right thing and stop hiding behind immoral corporate law loopholes. Simple. Won’t happen, of course, but I admire the ballsy sentiment behind Perth Airport’s move.
