First of all, you can’t compare the two because the government OWNED QF. That’s the same as if the owners of Virgin were to chip in (like they’re supposed to).

Virgin is asking for an unsecured loan. If Virgin were to fold up, there isn’t enough of the company left to repay the loan.

Take the emotion out of it and look at it logically
