Virgin airlines are demanding a share of £7.5bn as a bailout from the government due to lost revenue caused by Covid-19.

Sir Richard Branson resides in the British Virgin Islands and has an estimated personal wealth of £3bn and pays hardly any UK tax due to loopholes. During the Covid-19 crisis he has sent staff home for 8 weeks without pay.

This petition has the aim of making him sell personal assets before the UK Government bails him and his airline out. UK taxpayers should not have to endure years more austerity in order to bank roll his companies.
