Dail Mail article today Richard Branson is planning, along with a group of top business people to block the Brexit plan. He is putting in a pot of cash as a fighting fund and determined to win through. Apparently the great British public do not understand the implications attached to Brexit and with the fighting fund he and his followers will, presumebly, educate us to the disasters we face unless we change our minds.
Its the usual 'we know better than you' routine.

Man of the people?

"Populism" is the name that lefty losers give to "democracy".

Is this the same Branson who lives in a low-tax island on the other side of the world...

To be fair, though, with Theresa Mayhem going all-out for Daily Mail hard Brexit and thousands of jobs already starting to flee the City of London (Britain's last remaining great industry), beardy Branson is right to be concerned.

How do you explain the fact that unemployment is falling if thousands of jobs are fleeing the city?

Who has fled? There has been threats and thats all they will amount to if the UK is still a good place to do business so lets not get too ahead of ourselves, the broad brexit plan has been laid out but no specifics yet.

Branson should shut his mouth.

If true.... this might just destroy his Virgin brand.

It is a gutsy gamble.

It's the same one - also the same one that has said the following

Richard Branson said:
Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.
Richard Branson said:
I believe in benevolent dictatorship provided I am the dictator.

Respect is how to treat everyone, not just those you want to impress.

I was down at Dover - hundreds of cars, vans and lorries leaving England every hour - it's a real concern - soon there will be no one left!!!!

If he kept his trap shut 100% of the country would be his market....

A very odd business model.
