Menny moons ago, Peter Sellers stared in "I'm All Right Jack", as relevent now as it was then!

Over the Last five years, Richard (Rupert) Branson has asked the Government for a bailout of £7.5 Billion to help deal with effects of coronavirus. This is from a man who is not resident in the UK, owns his own Ireland in the Caribean, is worth a reputed £4.5 Billion, doesn't pay any tax and is not known as helping the NHS or State schools.
But he does enjoy expensive "toys" we hear.
Richard (Rupert) Branson has further asked the Goverment for a bailout of £2 Billion when Virgin Rail walked away from the East Cost Mainline contract, five years early.
It goes on! Rupert demanded £2.2 million from the NHS for not being given an NHS contract to Virgin Care.
Rupert paid £2.2 million towards a consortium in January to buy Flybe which collapsed in March!
