Get back in your box and try to understand how life and finances work
I'm perfectly clear how finance works thanks. If foreign companies need to raise finance then they usually go to the financial sector or sell existing stock or issue new stock. Branson want to keep his 51% control and not sell at firesale prices (understandably) - I dont see it is the role of the UK taxpayer to support his continued ownership especially as he is no longer resident in the country.
