I never quite understand how comments become so personal about people we have never met. What did Branson do to upset so many people? He was successful (that's fairly unforgivable), he created an airline that stopped BA ripping-off people that wanted to fly trans-Atlantic (what a b*stard), he funded several low budget Super Bike teams so they could continue racing (cad) oh yes, then he stepped in and saved Brawn F1 (what an absolute ar*ehole).
Lecture over ;)

Could have paid taxes on his wealth in Britain, instead of holding his earnings & fortune offshore and then lecturing us about how much he does for us all.  :P

He could of given me a few million quid but unfortunately he isn't stupid!
I have no idea why I am standing up for him but one last point, most of his business operations are UK Registered so they pay UK Corporation Tax. :tease: :fool: :crazy: <- none of these mean anything I just think they are funny!
