Re: Branson Bailout

Well said Donkeyman...

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield was the best thing that Branson ever produced, after that he sold his soul to the devil! £££££££$$$$$$

Nice one Tachyon..... He can't be classed as 'British' anymore; The shyster!...

Not a bad idea in my view.
I think that's an excellent idea and should be employed immediately by our Chancellor of the Exchequer.

because of this!! Meanwhile Branson keeps his management

Donkeyman! 👎👎👎
That is precisely how licences and licence fees work, Donks. Every shred of paper or any other stuff that bears the Virgin logo will cost the company using it an agreed amount of money.
