This went into settlement of money due to the failure of an investigation that Virgin highlighted. Virgin highlighted a serious flaw in the process, which NHS trusts/local authorities had also highlighted, but because they are private obviously it was brought about like this by the government which wanted the attention on a private company sueing the NHS rather then highlighting attention to the failings of the process.
Find it laughable that some people, not saying you did by the way, but some people voted for a Conservative Government back in December to continue the privatisation of our NHS and yet happily see Virgin go under even though it employs near on 9,000 staff and probably brings a heft tax income to HMRC. Vote Conservative let them privatise the NHS.
As i said up there - why should one get preferential treatment (easy) when the majority shareholder has donated sweet FA and taken a lovely dividend yet we seem heel bent on letting Virgin go, despite $250mil donation, re-morgate of slots etc. What have easy done to deserve £600million loan?
