        Nope he recovered fair costs after a botched tender process which any company would have done.

        Can you explain/justify why the British taxpayer should give any kind of financial aid /assitance to someone who gave up their British residency to become a tax exile 🤷‍♂️ I won't hold my breath for an answer ... #useyourownmoneypic.twitter.com/4RnSHEVrsX

        He’s just a cynical soundbyte merchant - who has suddenly remembered that he is British.

        Clement Attlee wrote this in 1920: Charity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim.

        Hopefully this clears a few things up. I am part of the #VirginFamily & I can confirm what he’s said is true. We are all so incredibly proud of the jobs we have, and due to the ongoing pandemic we all want our jobs to be safe at the end of it, so happily helped where we could ❤️

        Why are you asking UK taxpayers for £500m for Virgin Atlantic?, if @BorisJohnson & @RishiSunak do agree to loan you money it should be at 40% APR, the same rate banks give taxpayers overdrafts at and all your shares in the airline should be put up as security. 👍
