"Bob Geldof, Bono, Brandson all are keeping very quiet just now hoping no one will remember how rich they are and how they do not want to come forward and donate or help at these times when the public need them seems Geldof and Bono always love to encourage the public and less well off to donate their cash whilst keeping their own stash hidden and as for Brandson, the public will never forget how he sued the NHS when things didnt go his way maybe its just myself that feels this way, perhaps others love all they are doing right now" How do you know they haven't donated anything? Personally I'd be more impressed by celebrities doing so anonymously rather than making a big PR friendly song & dance about it! | |||

One of them should be questioned about his involvement with Epstein. | |||

"Bransons flagship company Virgin Atlantic are a national disgrace. 5 weeks I’ve been waiting for money they owe me for a cancelled flight. Where as it took BA 24 hours to refund me. VA are purposely withholding refunds and dragging it out to the maximum 90 days it can to limit their cash bleed. Disgusting company, withholding money from consumers that doesn’t belong to them. " flew a couple of times to the states with them, not impressed, will never use them again with you can enjoy a better flight with United or BA | |||

"Branson is the only one of the three who has actively attacked the nhs - you might not like the other two personally but they have both saved a hell of a lot more lives than you or I. Incidentally if you want to pick on the wealthy who dont appear to be splashing the cash their are many more people you could start with - aaron banks, nigel farage, jacob rees mogg - they are conspicuous in their absence right now" Seriously wondering where Lord Snooty, Rees Mogg is | |||

Not that I disagree with your point. | |||

I mentioned high profile people who seem to have loadsamoney when it comes to political donations and trying to influence the direction of the country but dont seem very high profile on corona. Sorry if that upsets you but it seems a valid point to me. | |||

"Branson is asking the UK to bail out a company that is 49% American 31% French and 20% Virgin Islands why the hell should the UK bail it out? Denmark and Poland have said they will not bail out any company registered in a tax haven which in my opinion is the right way as these companies show losses so they pay no tax and stash the spoils away. " You could see that being electorally popular aswell. | |||

The biggest assets - fully equipped planes and fully trained staff - already exist and someone with the means will fill the void. Some jobs would be lost, no doubt but the airline industry will not collapse. It won't be the same as before. The millennials and younger are the future and are seeing the environmental benefits of a reduction in flights, but air travel is too important to modern life to abandon. | |||

"If there are 8000 jobs at stake then it does put a different slant on things so OK Branson you get a loan to tide things through from the treasury but the rate of interest is higher and based upon what uk taxes have been saved by the company in offing it to a tax haven.. " The moral dilemma of 8,000 jobs .... it’s a no win decision for the government | |||

Even post lockdown I think many airlines and the tourism industry per se will take a couple of years to be back to where it was so some jobs will go.. | |||

"Other countries have limited or blocked covid-19 financial help to those who use tax havens or don't fully reside, with full financial transparency, in the country that they earn from and demanding money from. Perhaps the British Virgin Isles or personal wealth, should be the source of their help. I'd suggest that Branson pays several £billions in personal tax to the UK, as his application fee for consideration of help. With no guarantees of payment of his demands being met. It's only a few weeks since he sued the NHS and took £200 millions! " Sounds like an excellent plan to me Tbh I couldnt care less if he ends up in hock or not as long as he gets bitten on the arse for being a beardy pro Brexit anti nhs posh cunt | |||

"I’m sure Virgin Atlantic Ltd and Virgin Atlantic International Ltd would pay U.K. tax if it makes profit . Parent company Virgin Group Holdings in the BVI - tax free" Of course they would have to pay UK ta if they made a profit but it is far too easy for those companies that make massive profits to then use the loopholes to turn the profits in to big losses = no tax to pay | |||
