Enough to cover employees wages for the proposed 8 weeks un paid leave

Large parts of the NHS are owned by 'Virgin Care', which comes under the Virgin umbrella, registered offshore (British Virgin Islands), any profits made off the back of the NHS will never pay a penny in corporation tax, in fact, nor will any Virgin company.

When he lost a contract for a local NHS trust to a not for profit organisation (profits to be put back into the trust) he threatened to sue the NHS trust because of 'flaws in the procurement process' and took a settlement of £328,000.00

He has a criminal record for VAT evasion.

Bought Flybe for 2 million, took a govt handout, Flybe gone, mabe something will come out in the post mortem but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Sexual predator, many complaints, no legal action. Maybe he has a fatter wallet than Harvey Weinstein.

Apart from that, you couldn't meet a nicer bloke.

Because he wants US to bail out Virgin Atlantic, when he has the money himself, personally.
When times are good, our money flows towards him. I have no problem with that, entrepreneurial spirit and all that. However,
I do have a problem with him wanted to be personally-insulated during the bad times, again with our money.
No matter whether we have money or not, he still wants it coming his way.

He is no different to a lot of other very wealthy people, however. Just high-profile and topical, at the moment.

Delta owns 49% of VAA so why not ask them to put their hand in their pocket? They currently have over 80% of their fleet on the ground. Surely all share holders who want the business to survive need to chip in.
