Gaurika24 I do like a leader who has and exhibits integrity.

Gaurika24 We don't need him , because uk invaded Falklands

Gaurika24 Well done Branson. It is very encouraging to see an influential Westerner put their morals over dollars in this case. Such heart-wrenching barbarity from retarded medievals.

Gaurika24 That's how a real leader treats a despotic regime - the complete opposite of opportunistic, cowardly, DonTheCon Trump. sad SaudiArabia Kashoggi MAGA GOP

Gaurika24 Whoever does business with these criminals is as guilty as hell. Branson and people like him need to do business with their own people. There are millions of poor and disfranchised people in UK and U.S. Do something good for your own community. Have basic decency.

Gaurika24 This world is full of idiots. Reuters is accusing Saudi in purpose without evidence and idiots are cheering and retweeting

Gaurika24 Good for Branson. Others will follow suit.

Gaurika24 He could teach trump so much if trump cared about being a leader instead of a greedy criminal.

Gaurika24 yet he's presumably OK with them bombing school buses full of kids?

Gaurika24 why would Branson to halts talks on $1 billion PIF in space ventures without any prove that Jamal was assassinate inside the Saudi consulate, even he did not get a responde from Saudi authorities?

Gaurika24 No problems, a decision he will regret when the truth reveals

Gaurika24 Respect to you Sir

Gaurika24 Now there's a business person with balls. Politicians please note.

Gaurika24 Well, at least someone has the balls to stand up to Saudi Arabia. Our president* certainly doesn't.

Gaurika24 He is misinformed . Fake News

Gaurika24 All the Saudis have to do is produce CCTV footage of Khashoggi leaving the embassy alive and well.

Gaurika24 Proof that not all billionaires are enemies of the people.

Gaurika24 shaunking a step. Hopefully more will follow.

Gaurika24 A hero. Each man and woman taking responsibility.

Gaurika24 At least someone has the backbone to stand up to the Saudis! our small handed fool on the hill does not!

Gaurika24 How utterly........ Respondible.

Gaurika24 God bless Sir Branson because the POTUS45 realDonaldTrump is a disgrace to America and won't do his job, won't support human rights, our complicit GOP SpeakerRyan SenMajLdr LindseyGrahamSC TGowdySC RepGoodlatte ChuckGrassley DevinNunes are another disgrace to America

Richard Branson suspends $1 billion Virgin investment talks with Saudi Arabia over missing journalistThe journalist has not been seen since entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. Turkish officials allege that Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government. He's probably just using that to back out of the deal. Of all the things they do, and that's the one that did it? 🙄 The Saudis are drone bombing hospitals in Yemen daily, glad he finally found a reason.

Richard Branson freezes business ties with SaudisLONDON (AP) — British billionaire Richard Branson has frozen business links with Saudi Arabia amid reports that journalist Jamal Khashoggi may have been murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Branson says that if the reports are true, it would 'clearly change the ability of any of us in the West to do business with the Saudi government.' Branson, founder of Virgin Group, says he will suspend his directorships in two tourism projects in Saudi Arabia while an investigation takes place. He also is putting on hold discussions about a proposed Saudi investment in space companies Virgin Galactic and Virgin Orbit. Good. Bravo ! Thank you mr Branson.
