I already contribute enough to his fund by way of the VM package I've got!

I know it's not how these things work, but he has got a personal fortune of £4 billion. Let him stump up the money.

Might have mentioned it before, but I utterly detest that bloke. Wouldn't give him my last penny to save his life.

He should sell one of his islands, and pay U.K. tax.

Whatever us taxpayers do to keep Virgin jobs being paid should be reclaimed from Richard.

No ifs, no buts!!  >:( >:(

He isn't asking for a bail out, he is asking for a loan and offering up his island as collateral.

I don't understand the hatred?

Virgin Air is owned by a multinational conglomerate of big businesses, of which he is a minority shareholder. Between them they could find that kind of money down the back of the proverbial sofa.
Hes a very crafty sod, and I have little doubt he would try every trick in the book to find a way out of repaying the loan.
He has spent his whole career pulling tricks like this. Hence most brands which carried the Virgin name disappearing at some point.

Believe it or not, he actually got this idea from an April Fools joke on Guido Fawkes website.

Mr Branson, and Mr Green, didn't get were there are today being nice and cuddly when it comes to money, When it's going well they are lorded as heroes and stand there basking in glory, when it's going wrong they back peddle and use every cunning under hand truck they can, it's how big millionaire types survive, they don't care who gets hurt as long as they stay on top of the greasy pole.

Yet another buccaneering capitalist whimpering for tax payer money when things go tits up.


Capitalisim seems to be risk free. Simply go crying to the government.

Apparently his Island is only worth £30 million. He wants £500 million.

I knew there would be a catch. As I said, £30 million is pocket change to him.

Not quite ... he's 'only' worth $4.4billion https://g.co/kgs/chymVg  ;) ;)

which Googles to about £3.58billion (or in English £3 580 million)
