Take your point, CJ, Branson is just another greedy buisnessman...

...the point is he pretends that he isn't.

He pretends to be the consumer's champion, taking on the evil 'corporate behemoths' on our behalf.........

.....whereas he's really just lining his own pockets!!!

e.g. Why did he oppose BM's application for LHR-JFK? Because he would have lost his cosy duopoly with BA on that lucrative route!

Hardly the behaviour of the consumer's champion, IMHO!!!

My rant earlier was based on the fact that I had swallowed the spin, but have recentley realised the reality! Just like OFLOT.....!!!

At least I'll admit that........
